This unique compendium provides a fact-based analysis of the most
prominent energy issues of our time. It covers the period when the
Covid pandemic swept across the world and substantially altered
energy production and consumption. It discusses lessons learned
following the reopening of economies around the world, and
recognizes that we are in the midst of the energy transition.
Insights into key energy topics, such as the timing of the energy
transition and the need for a reliable energy portfolio for
national security, are included.Some highlights of the new edition
include discussions of climate change; lessons learned from the
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine; introduction to small-scale,
modular nuclear fission reactors; updates on the status of nuclear
fusion reactor prototypes; advances in solar power plants and
transparent photovoltaic cells; improvements in large-scale wind
power; tidal and wave energy converters; oil from algae; the EU
Supergrid; the transition to electric vehicles and its impact on
demand for oil; and updating the Goldilocks Policy forecast.This
textbook can also serve as a useful reference for students,
decision makers, opinion leaders and the general public. Previous
editions have been used as an introductory energy text for college
and MBA students.
