……为他干活或者需要 200 平米的光伏，而普通的美国公民则需要相当于 120 个人或者 480 平米（5000 平方英尺），这里的目标就是把它压缩到 20 人或 80 平米光伏。极好的参考资料：Vaclav Smil 的书，比如《How the World Really Works》。
…working for him or 200m² of PV, the average US citizen of 120 people or 480m² (5000 sq feet), and the goal here is to push it down to 20 people or 80m² PV. Great reference: the books by Vaclav Smil, eg. How the World Really Works.
Vaclav Smil 的《How the World Really Works》是我今年读过最好的书之一。它对于我们消耗了多少能源和原材料给出了极其透彻的视角。这是 Smil 最通俗好读的书之一，里面还有像这样的真知灼见……
How the World Really Works by Vaclac Smil is one of the best book I've read this year. It gives such a great perspective on how much energy and material we use. It's one of the most readable books by Smil and has gems like this…
……利用空气或水作为“电池”前景也很广阔，比如压缩空气或抽水蓄能（PSH）。我强烈建议读一读比尔·盖茨的《How to Avoid a Climate Disaster》和 Vaclav Smil 的《How the World Really Works》，这两本书真正讲清楚了未来解决气候和能源问题到底需要做什么。
…promise at using air or water "batteries" as well via compressed air or Pumped Storage Hydropower (PSH). I would highly recommend reading both Bill Gates's How to Avoid a Climate Disaster and Vaclav Smil's How the World Really Works, both of which have really shown what needs to happen to solve both our climate and energy problems going forward.
Vaclav Smil 的《How the World Really Works》——这是一本很有意思的书，因为作者没有粉饰太平，而是直面未来几十年解决能源和粮食问题究竟需要做些什么。我读得非常过瘾。……
How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil - It is an interesting book because the author does not paint a rosy picture of what needs to get done to solve our energy and food problems in the coming decades. I really enjoyed it.…
……我觉得很多政治类书籍里没有的东西：对一个更美好美国的希望。这两本书都对政党历史以及我们是如何走到今天这一步提供了不同视角。世界篇 ------ 《How the World Really Works: A Scientist’s Guide to Our Past, Present and Future》Vaclav Smil 是位不可思议的作家，他的这本新作涵盖了从能源到粮食的诸多话题，阐述了解决这些问题绝非那么简单……
…something I feel a lot of political books don't, a hope for a better America. Both books offer perspectives on this history of the political parties and how we have gotten to this point. World ------ How the World Really Works: A Scientist’s Guide to Our Past, Present and Future Vaclav Smil is an amazing author, his latest book really covers a range of topics from energy to food and how solving these problems are not as simple…
……要是真是那样就太爽了，但这根本不可能发生。这种活在幻想乡里的调调简直太适得其反了，因为一旦落空，就会让人们去质疑整个理念。《How the World Really Works》就是 Smil 用来反驳像本文这种幻想文章的书，但问题在于有一帮死忠信徒，他们对现实世界根本不感兴趣。任何有其他想法的人都是……
…that was the case, it would be awesome but that is just not going to happen. This fantasy land stuff is so counterproductive because when it doesn't happen it causes people to question the entire idea. How the World Really Works is Smil's book to counter fantasy land stuff like this article but the problem is there is a true believer contingent that that is just not interested in the real world. Anyone who thinks otherwise is…
