Sustainable Energy Solutions for Climate Change brings together the science, technology, economics and policy issues to provide a unique and truly interdisciplinary approach. It details the enormous recent changes in the energy sector and profiles the renewable energy technologies that can transform our fossil-fuelled energy systems into ecologically sustainable ones. The book provides in-depth analysis of: • scenarios for transitioning our polluting energy system to one basedon the efficient use of renewable energy • sustainable transport and planning for better cities • why nuclear energy is not the answer • the politics and policies of climate change mitigation • myths about wind and solar energy and energy efficiency • what people can do to overcome vested interests and push reluctant governments to take effective action. Taking stock of the latest advances in energy efficiency and energy storage, the book is of interest to students at undergraduate and postgraduate level studying energy policy and economics, environmental policy and environmental politics as well as professionals and policy makers.
