Sustainable Energy
Climate change is the most pressing problem of the 21st century. In this vitally important and timely book, key experts explore the possibilities for a sustainable energy future, asking can we meet our energy needs from renewable sources such as the sun, wind, waves and tides? Should we be more concerned with energy conservation? Can nuclear power play a role? Much of the debate is limited by an adherence to old myths and misconceptions about renewable energy. Arguing that it has much potential, this collection asserts hard-headed assessments of what can be done in practice and what is not possible. Detailing the social, political and economic context for sustainable energy to suceed, and outlining the challenges ahead, this book explores solutions to the key problem of our age, and possible scenarios for the future. -- Back cover.
