The book at hand ties up the most vital issues of the 21st Century:
on one hand environmental degradation, and on the other our energy
consumption that inflicts the former. The emphasis is on developing
countries, as their energy consumption per capita is projected to
rapidly grow. But what consequences does this bare for the
environment, if several billion people enjoy the same standard of
living as the reader and myself? The country perspectives of both
South Africa and India are taken into consideration, as the book is
comprised of two individual term papers from the Global Studies
Program (GSP). For instance, currently, roughly 40% of India's 1.1
billion population have access to electricity. Already, this level
of electricity consumption has significant ramifications for both
the local and global climate. Henceforth, the assertion of energy
crises seems to be justified, not only from the often debated
constraints from the supply side; moreover, the increase in demand
in developing countries needs to be considered as well. The author
strongly advocates access to modern forms of energy for the poor,
as this is one of the key pillars for economic growth and poverty
alleviation. Essentially, the book addresses the need for the
provision of affordable energy, and this needs to be accomplished
in an environmentally sustainable manner. Thus, the book has been
written for policy and decision makers, the development community,
academia as well as the interested public.
