The need for a revolution in the industry becomes further apparent given that 'decarbonization' means an increasing electrification of other sectors of the economy?in particular, through a switch from gasoline to electric vehicles. Of the options for producing electric power without significant greenhouse gas emissions, renewable energy is most attractive to policymakers, as it promises increased national self-reliance on energy supplies and the creation of new inElectric power productionElectric power productionEnvironmental aspectsElectric power productionEconomic aspectsRenewable energy sourcesElectric power production.Electric power productionEnvironmental aspects.Electric power productionEconomic aspects.Renewable energy sources.333.793/2Moselle Boaz1586627Padilla Jorge1983-732578Schmalensee Richard121363MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910799972003321Harnessing renewable energy in electric power systems3873319UNINA
