520			_a"Activists, scientists and policymakers around the world have long argued that we need to find sustainable and secure solutions to the world's energy demands. At issue for citizens worldwide is whether we are scientifically literate enough to understand the potential policy choices before us. Understanding Energy and Energy Policy is a one-stop resource for understanding the complexities of energy policy and the science behind the utilization of energy sources. Its multidisciplinary perspective enables readers to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of potential energy policies. Drawing on case studies from the global North and South, from countries both resource poor and rich, this book explains the science and politics behind burning fossil fuels and power created through nuclear energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, wind energy, biofuels and water."--Provided by publisher..
