Enormous in scope, this book presents in comprehensive and logical
form the sum of our national knowledge about renewable energy
resources. It deals with these resources in terms of opportunities
and dangers, in terms of current availability and possible
expansion, in terms of how natural resources relate to human
resources and needs, and in terms of their replacement potential
for nonrenewable resources such as fossil fuels. It also puts
domestic resources and needs into the context of international
needs, supplies, and policies, emphasizing the issues facing an
interdependent world and the urgent requirements perceived by
countries less endowed than the United States. This is a handbook
for the concerned citizen as well as for resource managers and
policymakers at local, regional, and national levels. The analyses
it contains underscore the fact that there are no easy answers:
everything is part of an interlocking system, and every decision
will affect multiple aspects of our daily lives and indeed our very
existence. The authors emphasize the crucial importance of early
planning, balanced management, and timely decisions, while
suggesting that something more is required-a new ideology and a new
educational approach.
