Human societies around the globe have received immense benefits from uses of coal, oil, gas, and uranium sources, yet we must now rebuild our energy economies to rely on renewable sources and use them efficiently. The imperative for a fourth energy transition comes from dangers related to climate change, geopolitical tensions, documented health and environmental effects, and long-term depletion of today's sources. John H. Perkins argues that a future in which current levels of energy service benefits are sustained can come only from investments in the technologies needed to bring about a fourth energy transition. Changing Energy envisions a viable post-fossil fuel economy and identifies the barriers to be overcome. 606 $aEnergy consumption 606 $aRenewable energy sources 606 $aFossil fuels 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnergy consumption. 615 0$aRenewable energy sources. 615 0$aFossil fuels. 676 $a333.79/4 700 $aPerkins$b John H.$01055154 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493154703321 996 $aChanging Energy$92488334 997 $aUNINA
