Exploring early 20th-century energy innovation, this classic work delves into alternative energy sources proposed before World War II, highlighting the urgency driven by limited fossil fuel reserves. It details ambitious projects like the Panropa (Atlantropa) initiative, which aimed to harness hydroelectric power from the Strait of Gibraltar while fostering economic ties between Europe and North Africa. The book also examines various methods such as wind, tidal, solar, geothermal energy, and fuel cells, shedding light on a largely forgotten era of scientific exploration.
