We are in the midst of an enormous global energy transition
happening before our eyes. Alternative energy forms including
solar, wind, water, and bio-fuels are challenging the established
energy sources that have fuelled the industrial era for the past
century. As we look to this century's energy future an examination
of the past is important to understand how these choices will be
made. What political, economic, and ethical lessons can be learned
from how coal, oil, and natural gas became the power of the 20th
century? Are those lessons instrumental in determining future
decisions about emerging alternative energy choices? The
opportunities and the risks involved in making, or not making these
choices are enormous. Through case studies and examples of past and
present development of energy sources, the story is told of the
global energy industry. In its telling Energy, Economics, and
Ethics wrestles with many of the difficult questions at the heart
of the emerging global energy transition
