scientific perspective while considering environmental,
economic, and social factors. It explains the basic
concepts, provides a historical overview of energy
resources, assesses our unsustainable energy system based
on fossil fuels, and shows that the energy crisis is not
only a tough challenge, but also an unprecedented
opportunity to become more concerned about the world in
which we live and the society we have built up. By
outlining the alternatives for today and the future, it
gives an extensive overview on nuclear energy, solar
thermal and photovoltaics, solar fuels, wind power, ocean
energies and other renewables, highlighting the increasing
importance of electricity and the long-term perspectives
of a hydrogen-based economy"--Back cover
