While highlighting a number of salient problems, he also explores grounds for optimism that these challenges can and will be met.  After establishing the historical context, the book presents an analysis of today’s energy industry, different energy sources, countries and determinants of energy demand, supplementing all sections with a wealth of global and local data. It subsequently proposes measures to solve the energy equation and a roadmap for a sustainable future, based on more efficient energy use, cleaner energy production and advanced technologies. .Energy policyEnergy and stateIndustriesNatural resourcesInternational relationsRenewable energy resourcesEnergy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000Industrieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527000Natural Resource and Energy Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010International Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Energy Policy, Economics and Managementhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000Renewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Energy policy.Energy and state.Industries.Natural resources.International relations.Renewable energy resources.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Industries.Natural Resource and Energy Economics.International Relations.Energy Policy, Economics and Management.Renewable and Green Energy.333.79338.926Petit Vincentauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut960590BOOK9910163008203321The Energy Transition2177660UNINA
