The world economy stands poised to shift away from crude oil and environmentally-damaging coal. The authors of this work describe the rapid move to decentralized and efficient energy systems - a move encouraged by new investment opportunities, environmental demands and the need to stabilize the world's climate. The text explores the changes ahead: electric cars; wind power and solar-powered generators; fuel cells that allow the generation of personal electricity supplies; and the emergence of hydrogen as the world's main energy source.
