Watt Committee on Energy Publicationsby Watt Committee on Energy Publications
Spon Press 1980; US$ 210.00The importance of energy for transport was recognised in Report No. 1 published by The Watt Committee on Energy in 1977. Two features of transport energy use are its magnitude (approximately 22% of the UK total) and its vulnerability to oil supplies (nearly 50% of our oil supply). There have been several excellent conferences elsewhere since then on new technology and the future designs of aircraft, ships and railway trains but there seemed a need to consider all transport modes together. In assessing substitution of energy sources there is a tendency also to consider substitution of transport modes, but this is a complex matter and such substitutions will be slow and generally costly. There are historic instances of such changes, e.g.... more...
E-Vision 2002, Shaping Our Future by Reducing Energy Intensity in the U.S. Economy, Volume Iby David Ortiz; Jerry Sollinger
RAND Corporation 2003; US$ 9.95The E-Vision 2002 Conference, held in May 2002, was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy as a step toward implementing a key recommendation of the Bush administration?s National Energy Policy. It gathered 150 of the nation?s leading energy experts to discuss ways of reducing the country?s energy intensity. This volume and the additional volume enclosed on CD-ROM contain the presentations and discussions that took place at the conference, including the identification of goals and the means to achieve them. It is a key work for those involved in implementing the National Energy Policy. more...
Energy Studiesby W. Shepherd; D. W. Shepherd
World Scientific 2004; US$ 83.20How is the future world energy demand to be met? The rates of use of the fossil fuels - coal, oil and natural gas - are increasing all over the world. The remaining stocks are finite and are not renewable. This important book considers the various options of renewable energy, including water energy, wind energy and biomass, solar thermal and solar photovoltaic energy. And should the nuclear option remain open? The book examines the environmental implications and economic viability of all fossil and renewable sources, introduces more distant future options of geothermal energy and nuclear fusion, and discusses a near-future energy strategy. more...
