It is of paramount importance to policy makers, economists, environmentalists, and industry as they consider which technologies to invest in, how to\u003cbr\u003epromote use of renewable energy sources, and how to plan for dwindling reserves of non-renewable energy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eEnergy: What Everyone Needs to Know(R), \u003c\/em\u003eJosé Goldemberg, a nuclear physicist who has been hailed by \u003cem\u003eTime\u003c\/em\u003e magazine as one of the world's top leaders and visionaries on the environment, takes readers through the basics of the world energy system, its problems, and the technical as well as\u003cbr\u003enon-technical solutions to the most pressing energy problems.
