How changing the way we think about water and energy can secure the
long-term sustainability of both precious resources Although it is
widely understood that energy and water are the world's two most
critical resources, their vital interconnections and
vulnerabilities are less often recognized. This farsighted book
offers a new, holistic way of thinking about energy and water-a big
picture approach that reveals the interdependence of the two
resources, identifies the seriousness of the challenges, and lays
out an optimistic approach with an array of solutions to ensure the
continuing sustainability of both. Michael Webber, a leader and
teacher in the field of energy technology and policy, explains how
energy and water supplies are linked and how problems in either can
be crippling for the other. He shows that current population
growth, economic growth, climate change, and short-sighted policies
are likely to make things worse. Yet, Webber asserts, more
integrated planning with long-term sustainability in mind can avert
such a daunting future. Combining anecdotes and personal stories
with insights into the latest science of energy and water, he
identifies a hopeful path toward wise long-range water-energy
decisions and a more reliable and abundant future for humanity.
