普立茲獎得主最新力作！ 美國Amazon暢銷書No. 1！ 《紐約時報》、《華爾街日報》等各大媒體一致讚揚 核災威脅與空汙危機，兩難卻得當機立斷！ 能源的決策，台灣人民該如何抉擇？ 在幾乎被遺忘的歷史知識當中， 你將可發掘出人類未來之路的線索…… ★對能源的追求，造就致命的隱形殺手 　　二十世紀以來，工業迅速發展，讓加州深受空汙問題困擾。嚴重的霧霾，使呼吸道疾病大爆發，一九五○年代，曾在兩天內奪去四百多條人命，一年超過七萬人逃離洛杉磯。為解決日益嚴重的霧霾問題，憂心忡忡的官員們找上任教於加州理工學院的化學家艾瑞•哈根史密特，請他展開研究。 　　哈根史密特原先的研究主題是精油的萃取與合成，他清掉堆滿實驗室的鳳梨，打開窗戶，引進幾千立方呎的霧霾空氣，透過液態氮冷卻，凝聚出幾滴褐色、惡臭的黏膠。他發現黏膠的化學成分，來自汽車廢氣與附近煉油廠的排放物。這種新玩意受到陽光催化後，會使空氣變成黑褐色。 　　石油公司的化學家嘲笑哈根史密特的分析，並宣稱根本沒發現這種化學反應，這激起了固執的哈根史密特的憤怒。他於是利用分析鳳梨的設備，解析出危害空氣的種種成分，並用舊輪胎的脆化證明了霧霾中含有過量的臭氧。加州政府就此介入，這才展開了淨化洛杉磯的過程。 ★「能源轉型」遙遙無期，為什麼？ 　　採用新的能源來源為何如此緩慢？長年任職於國際應用系統分析研究所（IIASA）的義大利物理學家切薩雷•馬凱提（Cesare...
