Energy for a Sustainable World
註釋Presents a long-term global energy strategy designed to lead to a stable, sustainable world economy while supporting solutions to related world problems. Using an ``end-use'' approach that focuses on present uses in order to structure more effective future uses, it presents feasible economic goals and demonstrates how energy supply constraints can be avoided. Explores prospects of improving energy efficiency in developing and industrial countries, and outlines a plan for coordinated use of familiar policy instruments to reduce market friction, eliminate market biases favoring supply expansion, and compensate for inherent market failings. Also examines problems associated with overdependence on Middle East oil, including high prices and global insecurity, climatic changes resulting from fossil fuel use, nuclear power, and nuclear arms proliferation.
