In the early 2000s, energy prices have fluctuated wildly, from
historic highs in the winter and spring of 2001 to the lowest
wholesale prices in decades a few short months later. As the
largest user of fossil-fuel energy, the United States is the key
player in the world's energy markets, and our nation's energy
policy (or lack thereof) has become a subject of increasing
concern."Energy: Science, Policy, and the Pursuit of
Sustainability" is an essential primer on energy, society, and the
environment. It offers an accessible introduction to the "energy
problem" -- its definition, analysis, and policy implications.
Current patterns of energy use are without question unsustainable
over the long term, and our dependence on fossil fuels raises
crucial questions of security and self-sufficiency. This volume
addresses those questions by examining the three broad dimensions
of the issue: physical, human, and political-economic. Chapters
consider: the laws of nature and the impacts of energy use on our
physical and ecological life-support systems the psychological,
social, and cultural factors that determine how we use energy the
role of government actions in adjusting costs, influencing resource
consumption, and protecting the environment how markets work, and
the reasons and cures for market failures in responding to
long-term environmental and energy problems "Energy" links energy
use with key environmental issues of population, consumption, and
pollution and offers readers a range of material needed for an
informed policy perspective.
