Opis

The green argument for conservation is a contradiction because although they produce no emissions, green systems still require a considerable amount of energy to produce their materials. This book addresses the question of how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. The text defines a green energy system as one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally impact the environment. Relying on his experience as an international journalist reporting on power-generating technologies, the author comments on energy policies around the world.

Recenzje

"This book details how current technologies-particularly nuclear, combined cycle, and hydro-can be applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the future."
