520    This revised third edition of Power Generation 
       Technologies explores even more renewable technologies in 
       detail, from traditional fossil fuels and the more 
       established alternatives such as wind and solar power, to 
       emerging renewables such as biomass and geothermal energy.
       The book also features new expanded chapters on tidal 
       project proposals, tidal bunds, enhanced geothermal 
       technology, fast-moving areas in marine energy and the 
       development of floating wind turbines. Power Generation 
       Technologies is more than just an account of the 
       technologies - for each method the author explores the 
       economic and environmental costs and risk factors. Each 
       technology is covered using the same basic criteria, so 
       that comparisons between technologies can be made more 
       easily. Those who are involved in planning and delivering 
       energy, including engineers, managers and policy makers, 
       will find a guide through the minefield of maintaining a 
       reliable power supply, meeting targets on greenhouse gas 
       emissions, and addressing economic and social objectives 
       in this book.
