Description
An energy revolution is underway, with far-reaching consequences for nations and companies. Dieter Helm explores how low oil prices are sending shockwaves through the global economy, and how this signals the end of the fossil fuel age. Helm examines recent technological innovations that will reduce demand for oil, gas, and renewables, rendering current efforts to combat climate change less effective. The book also assesses the impact on oil companies, energy utilities, and oil-exporting nations, highlighting opportunities for investment in new technologies. This timely and thought-provoking analysis concludes by offering guidance on how governments and businesses can prepare for a radically different energy future.
