Energy Systems: A Very Short Introduction
Modern societies require energy systems to provide energy for cooking, heating, transport, and materials processing, as well as for electricity generation. In many cases this primary fuel is still a fossil fuel, a one-use resource derived from a finite supply within our planet, causing considerable damage to the environment. Energy systems include the primary fuel, its conversion, and transport to the point of use.
He considers the widespread acceptance by scientists and policy makers that our energy After 300 years of increasing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly coal, it is becoming ever clearer that the present energy systems need to change.In this Very Short Introduction Nick Jenkins explores our historic investment in the exploitation of fossil energy resources and their current importance, and discusses the implications of our increasing rate of energy use.
