Climate change is an increasingly worrying global problem. In this book, leading authors look at the energy technologies that might help us to develop a sustainable energy future, with the emphasis on renewable energy technologies and the political and economic context needed for them to prosper. The emphasis is on the problems as well as the opportunities- while utopian visions can be inspirational, we also need hard headed assessments about what is possible and what is not.
