The Transition to 100 Percent Clean Renewable Energy. - Energy and Climate Change: Our New Future provides an understanding of future energy, energy transition, and climate change. Sections cover key concepts, enabling readers to better understand root causes and future implications while also assessing the current role and future outlook for fossil fuel-based energy sources. Coverage of the very latest cleaner energies gives readers tactics to solve the problems of global warming and climate change. The book also explores how various renewable energy options are affected by climate change, such as strong winds impacting wind turbines, flooding of renewable energy infrastructure, droughts affecting hydroelectric schemes, rising temperatures affecting solar panels, and more. This is an invaluable resource for all those with an interest in energy transition, renewable energy, climate change, and sustainability, including researchers, graduate students, scientists, engineers, practitioners, consultants, industry leaders, urban planners, and government personnel.
