Energy for a sustainable world
This book explores in convincing detail the technological opportunities for using energy more efficiently. This report concludes that, even if world population doubles, living standards could be improved far beyond the satisfaction of basic needs in developing countries and that economic growth in industrialized countries could continue with a level of global energy use in 2020 not much higher than at present. The authors compare other global energy scenarios to their findings and chart an energy course that affords decisionmakers in both industrialized and developing nations maximum room to maneuver. Focusing on ''end-use efficiency,'' they recommend well-reasoned policy changes to ensure a sufficient supply of energy.
