520 3 This book serves as a starting point for energy engineers,
sustainability managers, political leaders, and properly
informed citizens to explore the net value added by energy
systems. Since some resources deplete and some new
technologies will require time to emerge, the book takes
the reader through the range of costs and benefits,
considering the contexts of geography, human needs, and of
time. The book takes a particularly close look at the
underdeveloped world that currently lacks access to modern
energy, and which is crippled by its dependence on dirty,
inefficient biomass fuels to meet bare subsistence needs.
The authors provide evidence for the reality that energy
provides tremendous social value, ranging from the most
basic survival to development, to great luxury, inevitably,
at a cost. Based on this evidence the reader will be well-
equipped to ask the questions: Which energy resources
should be abandoned and which should be embraced as we
strive for a sustainable future?
