In this book, leading authors look at the energy technologies that might help us to develop a sustainable energy future, with the emphasis on renewable energy technologies and the political and economic context needed for them to prosper. The emphasis is on the problems as well as the opportunities- while utopian visions can be inspirational, we also need hard headed assessments about what is possible and what is not. | | | Product Details: | | | Hardcover:

This book focuses on energy technologies which could help with the development of producing sustainable energy for the future. This book first focuses on what types of energy options are available to us such as nuclear, renewable, wind, biomass, sea power, and solar power. This book also narrows down what can be done to save energy through cutting energy wastage and by determining exactly what the limits are for energy efficiency. Determining these factors can eradicate poverty and improve living standards while conserving natural resources. One area that hinders us is the rapidly changing problem of climate change such as global warming. Global warming must be dealt with so we can focus on the possibities for a sustainable energy future. Other factors which delay the uses of advanced energy technologies are the potential economic and political surroundings that need to be achieved in order for these technologies to prosper and succeed. The main goal in this book is to create long term functioning environments which have ideal conditions to live in places of utopia.
