ISBN: 9789462982062 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

And hydrogen and bio-based fuels are thus far a disappointment. So what does the future of energy look like?
The Tesla Revolution has the answers. In clear, unsensational style, Willem... Though oil prices have been on a downward trajectory in recent months, that doesn't obscure the fact that fossil fuels are finite, and we will eventua...
