If so, how could it be accomplished? Climate change poses a formidable challenge for twenty-first-century governments. Unless they can move to a clean energy system built on efficiency, renewables, electrification, and possibly complementary technologies like nuclear energy and carbon capture and storage, it will be all but impossible to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Daniel Fiorino provides a comprehensive introduction to the politics and policies of a clean energy transition and how it may unfold nationally and globally. Across its nine chapters, he explores the current energy landscape and the different pathways and pitfalls on the road to decarbonisation. All scenarios for decarbonising, he argues, rely on aggressive efficiency, the rapid scale-up of renewables, and the electrification of most of what is left. Yet this transition has to be accelerated and done effectively. There is little time left for second chances if we are to decarbonise later this century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Clean Energy Transition\u003c\/i\u003e will be an indispensable resource for students of energy politics, environmental studies, and public policy, as well as anyone interested in the energy issues of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455754977516,"sku":"9781509544875","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/71OXPJfVowL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774796691","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-clean-energy-transition-by-daniel-j-fiorino-9781509544875","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
