Energy and the Missing Resource
ISBN: 9780521265928 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The prevailing impression in popular discussion of future energy supply is that a crisis will occur, sooner or later, owing to the exhaustion of present resources. In this formative and thought-provoking book, a leading energy researcher demonstrates that sufficient energy resources are available to meet all energy needs for the foreseeable future. However, this does not remove the threat of an energy supply crisis. What is lacking--the missing resource--is the knowledge of how to use these resources in a practical and environmentally acceptable manner. Dostrovsky argues that long-term...

Fuel for Change
ISBN: 9781856497824 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Written by well-informed thinkers in leading NGOs, this book seeks to add to the pressure on the World Bank to shift policy in favor of sustainable energy. Explaining the historical development of the bank's energy policies, the book outlines promising initiatives within the bank and explains why these are having little impact on mainstream energy lending. The bank's energy policies have actually led to an increase in fossil fuel power plants in the ten lowest income countries. While not engaging in an ideological attack on privatization, the authors are concerned with how the Bank has...

The Impact of Electricity: Development, Desires and Dilemmas
ISBN: 9781845454951 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How does everyday life change when electricity becomes available to a group of people for the first time? Why do some groups tend to embrace this icon of development while other groups actively fight against it? This book examines the effects of electricity's arrival in an African, rural community. Based on ethnographic fieldwork in Zanzibar at different points in time, the author provides a compelling account of the social implications in question. The rhythm of life changes and life is speeding up. Sexuality and marriage patterns are affected. And a range of social relations, e.g....

Uncertainty in the Electric Power Industry: Methods and Models for Decision Support
ISBN: 9780387230474 / Angielski / Twarda / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Around the world, liberalization and privatization in the electricity industry have lead to increased competition among utilities. At the same time, utilities are now exposed more than ever to risk and uncertainties, which they cannot pass on to their customers through price increases as in a regulated environment.
