Our Energy Future is an introductory textbook for the study of
energy production, alternative and renewable fuels, and ways to
build a sustainable energy future. Jones and Mayfield explore the
creation and history of fossil fuels, their impact on the
environment, and how they have become critical to our society. The
authors also outline how adopting sustainable biofuels will be key
to the future of energy stability and discuss a number of renewable
energy options and biofuel feedstocks that are replacements for
petroleum-based products. Our society is consuming energy at an
alarming rate, and the authors warn that continuing fuel-usage
patterns could permanently damage the environment. This book
emphasizes the importance of continued scientific, agricultural,
and engineering development while it outlines the political and
environmental challenges that will accompany a complete shift from
fossil fuels to renewable energy and biomass. Our Energy Future is
an accessible resource for undergraduate students studying biofuels
and bioenergy.
