Physics of Sustainable Energy II: Using Energy Efficiently and Producing it Renewably: 1401 (AIP Conference Proceedings / Materials Physics and Applications) - Softcover
Synopsis
Obtaining a future based on sustainable energy requires using energy more efficiently in transportation, buildings and appliances. Even if consumption is reduced by one-half, there will always be a need to obtain new energy sources. If we are to reduce considerably our dependence on fossil fuels, it will be necessary to develop renewable energy sources. The five sessions of the conference brought together experts: on energy policy, on environmental effects of fossil fuels, on transportation, on buildings and appliances and on renewable energy sources.
