| Zusammenfassung: | Every generation leaves both assets and liabilities to the next. Alert people can see we are going to leave our children and grandchildren with a nearly unsolvable test of energy supplies; waste polluting the air and water; and, the appalling problem of a huge and uncontrollable explosion in world population. "Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Business Competitiveness" addresses itself to those having a professional, academic or general interest in these issues: energy sources, their nature and contribution, environmental problems associated to power production and usage, financing and control of energy-related projects and processes, future direction of agriculture produce now used as energy, complex social and technical issues resulting from lack of family planning - and, therefore, of demands for energy, impact of energy and an exploding population on pollution, and truth and hype about the most talked about environmental subjects. In this fourth book for Gower, Dimitris Chorafas reviews Europe, America and Asia's energy needs in the coming decade, pointing out that current policies are inadequate at best, and more likely disastrous for the economy. Governments persist in having their own agenda and priorities as well as plenty of constraints and taboos, yet when he critically examines the challenges Dr Chorafas concludes that no government can solve all current energy problems by acting alone. The book confronts current thinking, and its after-effect on policies and practices. Readers accustomed to mainstream books and articles which blame fossil fuels for a deteriorating world environment will find this a contrary opinion. |

Farnham, England ; Burlington, Vt. : Gower, ©2011. 1 online resource (xix, 364 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file rda pt. 1. The pillars of a realistic energy policy -- pt. 2. Biofuels, the green and blue revolutions, and agricultural policy -- pt. 3. Business consequences of a deteriorating world environment -- pt. 4. The world's salient problem has not been solved -- pt. 5. Appendices. Print version record. Every generation leaves both assets and liabilities to the next. Alert people can see we are going to leave our children and grandchildren with a nearly unsolvable test of energy supplies; waste polluting the air and water; and, the appalling problem of a huge and uncontrollable explosion in world population. "Energy, Environment, Natural Resources and Business Competitiveness" addresses itself to those having a professional, academic or general interest in these issues: energy sources, their nature and contribution, environmental problems associated to power production and usage, financing and control of energy-related projects and processes, future direction of agriculture produce now used as energy, complex social and technical issues resulting from lack of family planning - and, therefore, of demands for energy, impact of energy and an exploding population on pollution, and truth and hype about the most talked about environmental subjects. In this fourth book for Gower, Dimitris Chorafas reviews Europe, America and Asia's energy needs in the coming decade, pointing out that current policies are inadequate at best, and more likely disastrous for the economy. Governments persist in having their own agenda and priorities as well as plenty of constraints and taboos, yet when he critically examines the challenges Dr Chorafas concludes that no government can solve all current energy problems by acting alone. The book confronts current thinking, and its after-effect on policies and practices.
