Today, we face environmental degradation caused in large part by the use of fossil fuels, ever-declining efficiencies in extracting them, a pace of development for renewable energy insufficient for replacement of the fossil fuels we are burning through, and population growth that is likely to add two billion people globally by 2045. Despite partial recovery since the financial crisis of 2008, growth remains sluggish, and large budget deficits persist across much of the developed world. Meanwhile, developing states face their own challenges, stemming from unbalanced growth. Against this backdrop, and in light of the urgent need to pay closer heed to our environment, the last thing the world needs is an energy crisis triggered not merely by recurrent scares over supply, but by more lasting structural changes in our ability to use fossil fuels with reckless abandon. Buying Time applies lessons learned the hard way from the global economic crisis of the past decade, to offer an overview of the state of the environment and our energy future. Grounded in subtle thinking about complex systems, including the economy, energy, and the environment, this book underscores the connections linking them all. Kaz Makabe is a veteran financial systems expert who lived through the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. He nevertheless concludes that nuclear energy is the bridge than can help us cross over the abyss we face."$c--Publisher's description. 606 $aPower resources$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aFossil fuels$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aRenewable energy$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNuclear energy$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aPower resources$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aFossil fuels$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aRenewable energy$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNuclear energy$xEnvironmental aspects. 676 $a333.79 700 $aKaz$b Makabe$01232706 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910162844503321 996 $aBuying time$92862232 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02460oam 2200673 450 001 9910706523403321 005 20171212094437.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002457216 035 $a(OCoLC)609707842$z(OCoLC)607634813$z(OCoLC)655687116 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002457216 100 $a20100426d1974 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||abp 135 $aurbn||||||ada 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMedical training in World War II /$fby Robert J.
