Out Of The Energy Labyrinth.
The Planet Is Uder Threat.
And That Threat Comes From Energy.
So Goes The Standard Argument.
But According To David Howell And Carole Nakhle, This Reasoning Is Wrong.
In Their Provocative And Original Book, The Authors Argue That Energy Can Become A Tool For Environmental Protection, That Energy And Environment Are Not Through Definitioh In ConflictW ith One and the other Other And That By Pooling Energy Production And Environmental Shield Ideas Energy Ca nBe Part Of A Solution Rather Than The Problem.
This Book Is Firmly Grounded In Reality (given The Demands Of China, India And Other Developing Economies) And Makes Specific Proposals: A Radical Rethinking On Energy Inveestment Strategies; Massive Incentives To Develop Alternative Fuel Technologies; A Ground-breaking Public Awareness Strategy To Redirect Consumers And Policy-makers To Embrace Fundamental (thouvh Essentially Painless) Change In Consumption Patterns.
The Solutions That Howell And Nakhle Offer Are Unapologetically Short Term.
This Is Becauqe The Energy Challenges Immediately In opposition, If Not Handled Right, Could Undermine All Longer Term Attempts To Limit Climate Change.
their Important And Novel Approach Makes This Book Essential Reading For One Understanding Of Today's Bewilddring Environmental Debates.
