Corrections and additions to pre-publication draft 3.3.3 (26/9/08) [We printed 140 copies of this draft version of the book, and circulated them as advance review copies during October and November 2008.] page vii Removed Wayback sentence, moved it to page 343. page 4 pointless tat list now has ``biodegradable mobile phones,'' ``portable arm-mounted wind-turbines,'' page 5 Changed Even if fossil fuels are to Even if fossil fuels are still page 6 added a sentence after shows what happened to British {coal production} from 1769 onwards. VIZ: The figure displays coal production in units of billions of tons of \COO\ released when the coal was burned. unprecented -> unprecedented p6 fig 1.5 caption 1650 -> 1600 page 7 Whereas the ordinary graphs in figures -> Whereas the ordinary graphs in the figures Food chapter - Addition: \subsection{Fertilizer and other energy costs in farming} added 1 sentence of material on energy cost of farming, page 79 and notes (p). And new reference (Warwick 2007). p 8 cut (The first practical steam engine was invented seventy years earlier in 1698, but Watt's was much more efficient.) from fig 1.XX Chapter 1 Replaced twenty -> 20 5 times thirty -> 30 2 times page 14 Countries like Britain and the USA, for example. -> Countries that are most able to pay. Countries like Britain and the USA, for example. page 16 I kept the comma after "self-generated" page 20, 3 lines from the bottom, "troposhere" -> "troposphere" page 22 opening sentence Ch 2 changed to : Let's talk about energy consumption and energy production. p Balance Sheet discussion of energy and power: I have extended this paragraph with two sentences: For example, one 40\,W lightbulb, kept switched on all the time, uses {\bf{one}} kilowatt-hour per day. Some electricity companies include graphs in their electricity bills, showing energy consumption in \ind{kilowatt-hour}s per day. I'll use the same unit for all forms of power, not just electricity. Petrol consumption, gas consumption, coal consumption: I'll measure all these powers in {kilowatt-hours per day}. Let me make this clear: for some people, the word ``power'' means only {\em{electrical}\/} energy consumption. But this book concerns {\em{all}\/} forms of energy consumption and production, and I will use the word ``power'' for all of them. page 25 Rewrote this sentence: Here's the connection to energy and power. {\em{Energy}\/} is like water {\em{volume}}: {\em{power}\/} is like water {\em{flow}}. page 25 twenty-four -> 24 page 25 I removed the "built in per" sentences to the end notes. page 26 Danish waste: extended this a little as follows: (For the record, that is: Denmark, 5\,kWh/d per person; UK, 0.3\,kWh/d per person. So Danes incinerate about 13 times as much waste as Brits.) To save ink, I'll sometimes abbreviate ``per person'' to ``/p''. page 28 Any reader with a high-school qualification in -> Any reader with a high-school/secondary-school qualification in page 28 Cut the GW, TWh table from this page and moved it to the last page of book. page 29 moved the sentence Next we need to get the sustainable-production stack going, so we have something to compare this estimate with. to page 30 end of chapter. page 33. I have shortened the exposition of the 20 kWh/d number for wind. Endnotes to World chapter: added another note on Google's Oct 2008 plan for defossilizing America. Page 41, fig 6.7 caption - if you want the colon after "Solar photovoltaic farms" you don't need the capital "The..." following it; page 44,45,46: moved all algae material to appendix "Solar II". p49 figure 6.19 Added to caption " For comparison, the total power consumption of the average European person is \Red{125\,kWh/d}. " p106 Introduction to fig 18.6 in text has been rewritten. p110 figure 18.7 Modified bottom-right green stack, & corrected Biomass height. p112 Fig 18.9 Added text to caption: "All powers are expressed per-person, as usual." p112 New table Table 18.10 power densities. p112 New table Table 18.10 power densities. page 114: Ch 18. Added new table with all renewable power densities so far. p116 capitalization: "No. *T*his ``if-everyone'' multiplying machine..." p119 observation -> observations p119 Added We'll now discuss a variety of ways to apply these principles. before section "How to roll better" p134 Added figure of the BMW hydrogen 7 page 137: Moved two tram figures from last page of Ch 20 to p137. New Hydrogen 7 figure. page 139: New Loremo figure and information. page 140: New TREV figure and information. p141 ch 21 beat, when it come to value-for-money technology. -> beat, when it comes to value-for-money technology. p146 drives -> drive P160 (Chapter 23 note 158) Uncapitalised sentence: "each ton of CH_4 turns into 2.75 tons [...]" p164: $130 per ton should be $130 per kg. p168: corrected "only U235" to "mainly U235". (Twice) p178 Fig 25.4 deleted stray "a" P182 replaced kWp by kW (peak). p192 "in" should be "is about" 30\,GWh p198: adjusted font sizes in Fair Isle figure in margin. page 200: added sentence to flywheel subsection. High-speed flywheels made of composite materials have energy densities up to 100\,Wh/kg. p204 "The current situation in our cartoon country *is* as follows." page 222-223 The text on "permits to leave stable doors open" has been updated. Query: should I cut the final sentence (p223) " I still wonder whether it would be wisest to close the stable door directly, rather than fiddling with an international market that is intended to encourage stable door-closing. " ? Should I add a link to fig 29.1 -- $100 "-- that's 10,000 times what the price was in December 2007! p227 "a shift from pay as *you* earn" Added Bank bail outs to billions diagram Added a footnote to the International chapter to give Iceland data source. p232, under "Wind", par 1, line 3: "Let's guess than" should be "Let's guess that" p241 ``Does it matter?'' p242 figure caption 31.2: s/volcanos/volcanoes/ p244 s/equilbrium/equilibrium/ "only if the surface waters were out of equil*i*brium" P246 "And then you?d have to find somewhere to permanently store 7.5 tons of wood per year!" added 'per person' p251 Subtle curly-quote typo: ``no`' to nuclear power -> ``no'' to nuclear power p254 ubuntu -> Ubuntu p289 adding Area -> adding area p289 fig E3 - poorly rendered horizontal grey lines enhanced. New data for Sweden added, with dates. p290 fig E4 poor spacing between ylabel and graph improved p298 fig E11 - axis line thicknesses made consistent Ch "Fluctuations" a new artifical lake -> a new artificial lake Ch "World" Autralia -> Australia extremeties -> extremities photovolatics -> photovoltaics Pedantic spacing issues: Dept.\ - throughout a few occurrences of Dept. might be missing the slash. p90 Phases R and P\@. p105 Petrol from A to B\@. p128 LOW POLLUTION\@. ZERO GUILT. In several places UK\@. might be missing the \@ ... In fact, if you can be bothered, go through every occurrence of [A-Z]\. in the TeX source and put \@ before any of those full stops that end a sentence. p286 incineration section: ., -> , p297 Figure E.10: added Energy rating bands p301 Figure E.15 caption. Missing space before "At ``depth 2''". p328 Fig I.2 delete "s" p331 remove "air-conditioning" heading. page 342: the units conversion information is wrong. It should say " If the meter reads {\bf{100s of cubic feet}}, " Figure K4 - replotted to make scales of the right-hand two graphs match. Chapter K - added new table of energy ratings. Page 226: cut a quote from the FT to make space for the edits in previous paragraph. Page 295-296: Added picture of Heatkeeper house and one final sentence to that section.

WISHLIST Corrections that would be good to make but have not yet been made Page 32 - want labels (m/s) on the y-axes for figs 4.1 and 4.2? Page 46, fig 6.16, axes labelled W/sq m, but all other references to this unit are written W/m2 Page 102 - did you want to make a stronger comparison between the 0.24 kWh per day per person from universities with the 4 kWh per day per person from "defence"? The latter figure is on the previous page, and it would be easy for a reader to compare the university with the most recently read defence figure, which was 0.1 kWh/d/p for uranium enrichment. Fig 9.3 bulb costs - redo with horizontal axis being bulb time.
