An easy read, balancing the pros and cons, this book surveys the
energy issue from a broad scientific perspective while considering
environmental, economic, and social factors. It explains the basic
concepts, provides a historical overview of energy resources,
assesses our unsustainable energy system based on fossil fuels, and
shows that the energy crisis is not only a tough challenge, but
also an unprecedented opportunity to become more concerned about
the world in which we live and the society we have built up. By
outlining the alternatives for today and the future, it gives an
extensive overview on nuclear energy, solar thermal and
photovoltaics, solar fuels, wind power, ocean energies and other
renewables, highlighting the increasing importance of electricity
and the long-term perspectives of a hydrogen-based economy. An
excellent source of updated and carefully documented information on
the entangled aspects of the energy issue, this book is a guide for
scientists, students and teachers looking for ways out of the
energy and climate crisis, and the problems and disparities
generated during the fossil fuel era.
