More and more people believe we must quickly wean ourselves from
fossil fuels - oil, natural gas and coal - to save the planet from
environmental catastrophe, wars and economic collapse. In this 2006
book, Professor Jaccard argues that this view is misguided. We have
the technological capability to use fossil fuels without emitting
climate-threatening greenhouse gases or other pollutants. The
transition from conventional oil and gas to their unconventional
sources including coal for producing electricity, hydrogen and
cleaner-burning fuels will decrease energy dependence on
politically unstable regions. In addition, our vast fossil fuel
resources will be the cheapest source of clean energy for the next
century and perhaps longer, which is critical for the economic and
social development of the world's poorer countries. By buying time
for increasing energy efficiency, developing renewable energy
technologies and making nuclear power more attractive, fossil fuels
will play a key role in humanity's quest for a sustainable energy
system.
