Transitions To Alternative Energy Systems
Entrepreneurs, New Technologies, And Social Change
Introduction
The industrial world was built to run on cheap oil, and now the cheap oil has run out. For a while longer, the West will depend for its energy upon expensive oil -- much of it obtained from sources that are geographically remote or politically unstable. So in the near future, the world must shift from oil to other sources of energy.
About the Book
Transitions to Alternative Energy Systems explores how such change can best be encouraged. The governments of the world, then, do not have the option of piously washing their hands of the energy crisis. They must be involved: they must pursue wise policies, and they must prove far more effective in the future than they have in the past.
Author's Contribution
Through its careful analysis of past programs to promote renewable resource development, Tom Baumgartner's new book provides the public sector with precisely the kind of guidance it needs.
