Description
Energy Systems: A Very Short Introduction by Nick Jenkins and Nicholas Jenkins The world's increasing reliance on fossil fuels has led to significant environmental damage. As we move forward, it is clear that our energy systems need to change. This book explores the historic investment in fossil energy resources, their current importance, and the implications of our growing rate of energy use. Nick Jenkins examines the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy systems must reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. He also considers future low-carbon energy systems that would use electricity from a variety of renewable energy sources, as well as the role of nuclear power in our energy use.
