About Alternative Energy

The renewable and alternative energy markets and energy policy have evolved rapidly in recent years. Although a rapidly expanding part of the nation's energy portfolio, renewable energy will need to grow significantly if a dominant clean energy paradigm is to be achieved. In this fully revised and expanded third edition author Christopher Simon discusses the basic technical aspects of major renewable energy systems and technological developments and considers the impact of politics on energy policy using contemporary theories of public policy, as well as discussing the evolution of the social feasibility of renewable energy. Simon addresses the underlying rationale for alternative energies and how policymaking and innovation function in this arena. In-depth coverage of solar, wind, and geothermal energy, as well as other modern fuels, set the stage for the current challenges around energy storage, reforming the power grid, and artificial intelligence in energy markets. Fully revised to bring the discussion up to date through President Biden's administration, this edition considers nuclear power developments and feasibility in the post-Fukushima policy environment and addresses current international commitment to renewable energy. Features of the Third Edition include: ¿New Chapter 8: Energy Storage Technology and the Automotive Industry ¿New Chapter 9: Reforming the Power Grid ¿New Chapter 10: Artificial Intelligence and Energy ¿Extensive figures, boxes, and photos to engage readers ¿Fully updated coverage of the legal, regulatory, and legislative context through the Biden administration
