Green Energy: Sustainable Electricity Supply with Low Environmental Impact

By Eric Jeffs

Book Overview

Because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. Hence, the green argument for conservation through renewable systems is somewhat of a contradiction. Written by an international journalist with 40 years of experience reporting on power-generating technologies and global energy policies, this book addresses the question of how to build an electricity supply system that meets the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment. The text defines a green energy system as one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally impact the environment.
