Renewable Energy in the UK: Past, Present and Future de David Elliott

Renewable Energy in the UK: Past, Present and Future: Energy, Climate and the Environment

Autor David Elliott
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 ian 2019
​This book offers a detailed account of how renewable energy has moved from the margins to the mainstream in the UK, and of the battles that have been fought to achieve this, trawling through the often troubled history of government involvement.  

The book examines how renewables became what now seem likely to be the dominant energy sources of the future. Renewable energy technologies, using solar and wind power and other natural energy sources, are now supplying around 30% of UK electricity and appear set to continue expanding to supply around 50% within the next decade. Although the emphasis of the book is on the UK, developments there are compared with those in other countries to provide an overall assessment of the relevance of the UK experience. 

Chapters explore why the UK still lags behind many other countries in deploying renewables, in part, it is argued, due to its continued reliance on nuclear power.The book ends with a discussion on what sort of changes may be expected over the coming years. The author does not assume a single answer, but invites readers to consider the possibilities.

Caracteristici

Gives a sharply critical review of the progress of renewable energy in the UK Argues the UK's continued reliance on nuclear energy is holding it back from further development Written by an academic actively involved in many of the developments in energy policy
