This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the politics and policies of a clean energy transition and how it may unfold nationally and globally. All scenarios for decarbonizing rely on aggressive efficiency, the rapid scale-up of renewables, and the electrification of most of what is left, and the transition has to be accelerated and done effectively. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 272 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 September 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClimate change presents a significant challenge for governments in the twenty-first century. Unless they transition to a clean energy system based on efficiency, renewables, electrification, and potentially complementary technologies like nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage, it will be nearly impossible to mitigate the worst consequences of climate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Daniel Fiorino offers a comprehensive exploration of the politics and policies surrounding the clean energy transition and its potential for national and global implementation. Spanning nine chapters, he delves into the current energy landscape and the various pathways and challenges on the road to decarbonization. Fiorino argues that all scenarios for decarbonization rely on aggressive efficiency, the rapid expansion of renewables, and the electrification of the majority of remaining energy sources. However, this transition must be expedited and executed effectively, as there is limited time to achieve decarbonization by the end of this century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Clean Energy Transition serves as a valuable resource for students studying energy politics, environmental studies, and public policy, as well as anyone interested in the contemporary energy issues. It provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the challenges and opportunities associated with transitioning to a clean and sustainable energy future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 452g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 229 x 25 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781509544875\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DJ Fiorino","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44106053550330,"sku":"9781509544875","price":16.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1664549257260_book.jpg?v=1664624407","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-clean-energy-transition-policies-and-politics-for-a-zerocarbon-world-9781509544875","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
