Rational Energy Strategies

Rational Energy Strategies GLANCING through environmentalist literature (a plethora of which is coming out nowadays) one is struck by the extreme negativity and pessimism which characterises most of them. In contrast this book is a welcome change. As the authors note "Our work is only a preliminary effort to work out the'implications of the new approach. Many other efforts are needed. The joy in this endeavour comes from the feeling of being harbingers of hope rather than prophets of doom." For policy makers in particular the book is extremely valuable not only in terms of the diverse information that it provides but also because of the realistic poljcies that it proposes.
