(I.e., non-conventional) energy technologies, their potential impacts,
and the technical, economic and policy issues that will affect their
successful interation into global energy markets. In many respects the
book provides a thorough technology assessment of future energy
technologies. Key attributes of the book include technical and
non-technical orientation; futures orientation; systems perspective,
cautiously optimistic perspective, grounded in analysis and experience,
and will be international in scope. The first part of the book provides
an overview of the problems associated with conventional energy
consumption. Part II includes the specific technology assessments for
chosen alternate energy technologies and Part III considers generic
issues of technology implementation.
