Human survival depends on a continuing supply of energy, but the need forever-increasing amounts of it poses a dilemma: How can we find energy sources that are sustainableand ways to convert and utilize energy that are more efficient? This widely used textbook isdesigned for advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as others who have an interest inexploring energy resource options and technologies with a view toward achieving sustainability onlocal, national, and global scales. It clearly presents the tradeoffs and uncertainties inherent inevaluating and choosing sound energy portfolios and provides a framework for assessing policysolutions.
The second edition examines the broader aspects of energy use,including resource estimation, environmental effects, and economic evaluations; reviews the mainenergy sources of today and tomorrow, from fossil fuels and nuclear power to biomass, hydropower,and solar energy; treats energy carriers and energy storage, transmission, and distribution;addresses end-use patterns in the transportation, industrial, and building sectors; and considerssynergistic complex systems. This new edition also offers updated statistical data and references; anew chapter on the complex interactions among energy, water, and land use; expanded coverage ofrenewable energy; and new color illustrations. Sustainable Energy addresses thechallenges of making responsible energy choices for a more sustainable future.
