Global warming, one of the hottest political issues of today, is likely to become even more pressing over the coming years. Arguably, it is both the most dangerous environmental problem and the most difficult political issue to be faced by the world in the 21st century.
Written by Mark Diesendorf, Greenhouse Solutions with Sustainable Energy is a positive, proactive book that proposes a set of policies and strategies for implementing the most promising cleaner energy technologies by all spheres of government, business and community organisations.
Mark Diesendorf argues that ecologically sustainable energy technologies based on energy efficiency, renewable energy and natural gas are commercially available today, and that their implementation could halve Australia's greenhouse gas emissions within just a few decades. This book argues that despite being a coal- and oil-dependent country, Australia could achieve an ecologically sustainable energy system. All we need is the political will.
