Summary: Clearly it is not possible for the world's resources to sustain a standard of living for all of us equal to that enjoyed now (or expected to be enjoyed in the future) in the 'over-developed' countries. Which begs the question- How do we tackle the problem of meeting the increasing demand for energy? Now, this book presents the problem as it exists now, with a view to what might be the situation at the turn of the century. The book attempts to cover the existing sources of energy along with their associated problems, to assess what might become available in the future, and to define and determine an approach to reasoned and realistic objectives.
