Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low
Environmental Impact defines the future of the world 's electricity
supply system, exploring the key issues associated with global
warming, and which energy systems are best suited to reducing
it.
Electricity generation is a concentrated industry with a few
sources of emissions, which can be controlled or legislated
against. This book explains that a green sustainable electricity
system is one whose construction, installation, and operation
minimally affect the environment and produce power reliability at
an affordable price. It addresses the question of how to build such
an electricity supply system to meet the demands of a growing
population without accelerating global warming or damaging the
environment.
The green argument for conservation and renewable energies is a
contradiction in terms. Although they produce no emissions, because
renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a
considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and
maintain them. This book is a response to that conundrum, answering
key questions, such as:
- How can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest
energy input?
- Should coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production
rather than for power generation?
- How quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system?
?
The author has more than forty years of experience as an
international journalist reporting on power-generating technologies
and on energy policies around the world. Detailing the
developmental history, and current state, of the global nuclear
industry, he discusses the dire, immediate need for large
quantities of clean, emission-free electric power, for both
domestic and industrial uses. This book details how current
technologies particularly nuclear, combined cycle, and hydro can be
applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the
future.
