Summary:

"This book takes readers deep into one of the most important changes of the 21st century-a move from traditional fossil fuels to sustainable energies. The book extensively covers technological advancements, economic hiccups, and geopolitical swings that are shaping our world today; it provides a complete analysis how emerging energy technologies are altering our landscape environmentally as well as global relations. While grappling with climate change necessity and energy independence, countries seek renewable energies ranging from giant solar power to untapped wind, water or earth's potentials: cleaner future is anticipated which also reconfigures the balance of powers across the globe. This article is an eye-opener on such profound changes as regards winners in this energy transition, losers in this energy transition, integrating new technologies into old infrastructure challenges and possible new alliances/conflicts arising out of these global shifts. The discussions in this book move beyond technical wonders and environmental advocacy to critically analyze how energy security starts"-- Provided by publisher.
