Pełny opis

Is the goal of a transition to clean energy at all realistic? If so, how could it be accomplished? Climate change poses a formidable challenge for 21st century governments. Unless they can move to a clean energy system built on efficiency, renewables, electrification, and possibly complementary technologies like nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage, it will be all but impossible to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.In this book, Daniel Fiorino provides a comprehensive introduction to the politics and policies of a clean energy transition and how it may unfold nationally and globally. Across its nine chapters, he explores the current energy landscape and the different pathways and pitfalls on the road to decarbonization. All scenarios for decarbonizing, he argues, rely on aggressive efficiency, rapid scale-up of renewables, and electrification of most of what is left. Yet this transition has to be accelerated and done effectively. There is little time for do-overs if we are to decarbonize later this century.The Clean Energy Transition will be an indispensable resource for students of energy politics, environmental studies and public policy as well as anyone interested in the energy issues of the day.
