Energy for the Future

A New Agenda

Herausgegeben: Scrase, I.; MacKerron, G.

Beschreibung

Cutting carbon emissions is urgent but very challenging in wealthy democracies. Energy for the Future analyzes the changing contexts, imperatives and fault lines, and proposes ways forwards. Greater public engagement and a new approach to markets are vital, but traditional concerns with energy security and economic efficiency cannot be set aside.
