This book explains that a green sustainable electricity system is one whose construction, installation, and operation minimally affect the environment and produce power reliability at an affordable price. It addresses the question of how to build such an electricity supply system to meet the demands of a growing population without accelerating global warming or damaging the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe green argument for conservation and renewable energies is a contradiction in terms. Although they produce no emissions, because renewable systems are composed of a large number of small units, a considerable amount of energy is required to produce, erect, and maintain them. This book is a response to that conundrum, answering key questions, such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow can renewables be exploited to contribute the greatest energy input?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eShould coal be used for clean fuel and chemical production rather than for power generation?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow quickly can we start to build the Green Energy system?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author has more than forty years of experience as an international journalist reporting on power-generating technologies and on energy policies around the world. Detailing the developmental history, and current state, of the global nuclear industry, he discusses the dire, immediate need for large quantities of clean, emission-free electric power, for both domestic and industrial uses. This book details how current technologies--particularly nuclear, combined cycle, and hydro--can be applied to satisfy safely the growing energy demands in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Jeffs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439818924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439818923\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2010 pg. 151","brand":"Eric Jeffs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088267292927,"sku":"9781439818923","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c75ae94-f50d-46a4-9307-b508bbc29570.jpg?v=1769103967","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-energy-eric-jeffs-9781439818923","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
