| Zusammenfassung: | This book aims to prove that the so-called "energy crisis" is really an entropy crisis. Since energy is conserved, it is clear that a different concept is necessary to discuss meaningfully the problems posed by energy supplies and environmental protection. This book makes this concept, entropy, accessible to a broad, nonspecialized audience. |

Towards a world without fossil fuels. 7.1. Increasing entropy and increasing energy needs. 7.2. The retreat of oil. 7.3. How much oil is left anyhow? 7.4. Replacing oil and gas by coal for residential heating? 7.5. Can we replace oil for transportation? 7.6. Can coal be displaced as the major primary fuel? 7.7. Displacing coal with renewables. Ch. 8. A changing world. 8.1. A realistic objective. 8.2. The supply side. 8.3. Reducing the power consumed in developed countries. 8.4. The dangers. This book aims to prove that the so-called "energy crisis" is really an entropy crisis. Since energy is conserved, it is clear that a different concept is necessary to discuss meaningfully the problems posed by energy supplies and environmental protection. This book makes this concept, entropy, accessible to a broad, nonspecialized audience.
