Energy in the 21st Century is a valuable source of information for
students, decision makers, opinion leaders, and the general public.
Oil and natural gas price volatility continue to affect both the
supply and demand for energy. Advances in other technologies, such
as nuclear, wind, solar, and tidal technology, are altering the
comparative economics of competing energy sources. New government
policies are changing the landscape of the global energy
marketplace.From our reliance on fossil fuels to the quest for new
sources of energy, Energy in the 21st Century provides a fact-based
analysis of the most prominent energy issues of our time. The
fourth edition updates data and includes more discussion of recent
advances. Some of the highlights of the fourth edition are expanded
discussion of climate change and anthropogenic climate change; the
2015 COP21 Paris Agreement on Climate Change; nuclear fusion
reactor prototypes (tokomak ITER and stellarator W7-X); advances in
solar thermal and solar photovoltaic power plants, space based
solar power, transparent photovoltaic cells, and hybrid solar wind
technology; tidal and wave energy converters; oil from algae; the
EU Supergrid; the Goldilocks Policy for energy transition and the
Grand Energy Bargain.Energy in the 21st Century has been used as
the text for the general college student population, as well as
energy overview for MBA students. Pedagogical material includes
learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter, end of
chapter activities, a comprehensive index, a glossary, and an
Appendix to help with converting units. Points to Ponder are
provided throughout the text and are designed to encourage the
reader to consider material from different perspectives.
