About this book
Global energy consumption in the last half century has increased and is projected to continue increasing. However, we expect to see a significant difference between the last 50 years and the next. As the world's fossil fuel supplies dwindle, renewable energy sources and conservation will come to the forefront.
This book provides a thorough grounding in the analytic techniques and technological developments that underpin renewable energy use and environmental protection.
