Essential introduction for anyone interested in UK energy system in particular. Applicable to any country but many of the examples are GB-UK

Like other books in the VSI series this book delivers just what the non-specialist needs to know.
C**.
Author is obviously biased to the green utopia and does not offer fair representation of nuclear eg SMRs ie Rolls Royce
