The industrial world was built to run on cheap oil, and now the
cheap oil has run out. For a while longer, the West will depend for
its energy upon expensive oil --much of it obtained from sources
that are geographically remote* or politically unstable. so in the
near future, the world mus.t shift from oil to other sources of
energy. TRANSITIONS TO ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS explores how such
change can best be encouraged. The governments of the world, then,
do not have the option of piously washing their hands of the energy
crisis. They must be involved: they must pursue wise policies: and
they must prove far more effective in the future than they have in
the past. Through its careful analysis of past programs to promote
renewable resource development, Tom Baumgartner's new book provides
the public sector with precisely the kind of guidance it needs.
