Includes bibliographical references (p. 245-271) and index

This book provides a detailed, global examination of energy transitions, supplying a long-term historical perspective, an up-to-date assessment of recent and near-term advances in energy production technology and implementation, and an explanation of why efforts to limit global warming and to shift away from fossil fuels have been gradual. * Presents historical coverage of energy production, energy use, and key technical and economic factors that affect the currently unfolding transitions * Offers insightful analysis of energy transitions on both the national and global scale to explain the possibilities and limitations of the process. Supplies a critical appraisal of new renewable conversions that makes clear their advantages and potential benefits as well as their inherent unavoidable limitations * Enables general readers to gain an in-depth understanding of energy transitions from the perspective of an acclaimed scientist with expertise in the fields of energy, environmental and population change, technical innovation, and public policy
