SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
A guided tour of a revolution in the making that promises to change our lives. Global warming, rolling outs, massive tanker spills, oil dependence: our profligate ways have doomed us to suffer such tragedies, right? Perhaps, but energy and environment correspondent Vaitheeswaran sees great opportunity in the energy realm today. From corporate boardrooms to think tanks, Vaitheeswaran pursues the people who hold the keys to our future. This book is his look at the economic, political, and technological forces that are reshaping the world's management of energy resources. In it, he documents an energy revolution already underway--a revolution as radical as the communications revolution of the past decades. --From publisher description.
