Our Renewable Energy Future: The Remarkable Story of How Renewable Energy Will Become the Basis for Our Lives
Author: Douglas Arent
Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Europe Limited
ISBN: 9781800614932
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Our Renewable Energy Future focuses on clean energy technology evolution and where our energy system is going. While its foundation is technology innovation, it brings a unique perspective that technology alone is not what has brought about the explosive growth of renewable energy.The book offers fresh insights into how technology, economics, social dynamics, policy, and geopolitics are forces at play, affecting our energy future. It builds off Dr Arent's lifelong passion for energy, sustainable development, and in particular, renewable energy technologies. Dr Arent's journey began in high school, as a keen student of math and science, watching the global oil crisis unfold in 1973. The US responded with a series of actions, including establishing what was then called the Solar Energy Research Institute. The idea of a renewable energy future stuck, which Dr Arent follows as he covers the journey of technology evolution, economics, political economy and geopolitics of clean energy over the last 40 years, and provides insights for the next decades. From a technology perspective, we'll trace the arc of recent innovations, and synthesize innovations across multiple interacting perspectives into a description of Our Renewable Energy Future.

Book Description
This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The U.S. faces a critical challenge to transform our current fossil fuel based energy economy to a sustainable energy economy. This transformation must be achieved to increase U.S. energy independence, enhance environ. stewardship and reduce energy and carbon intensity, and generate continued economic growth. These are the six topics in this report: 1: A comprehensive Fed. strategy. 2: Private and Fed. support for sustainable energy R&D is inadequate. 3: The U.S. energy economy does not value the environ. as a public good. 4: Human capital development in the sustainable energy sector is vital. 5: Limited internat. engagement inhibits progress. 6: Public support for sustainable energy is needed to get to a sustainable energy economy.
