This
book gives a comprehensive analysis of the history and use of different
forms of energy, their environmental and social impacts and, in particular,
their economic costs and the future of their supply.
It examines all the major forms of energy---conventional fuels such as oil
and coal, nuclear power and alternative and renewable sources--and includes
case studies on the transport and building sectors in the North and agro-
forestry and fuelwood problems in the South. The authors look at the ways in
which social and environmental costs should be introduced into energy
planning and accounting, and emphasize the crucial role of efficiency to
limit over-consumption.
The Future of Energy Use presents a clear and thorough account of the
technical and economic issues at Stake in energy policy. It is an ideal
coursebook for students, and useful to planners, policy-makers and all those
interested in the field.
