Libros UCLV { BETA }

The Encyclopedia covers the major energy-using technologies and examines the advances that have been made in terms of performance and efficiency. This is an important approach because the unforeseen technology of tomorrow might be far different from what exists today, leading to an alteration in patterns of energy consumption. Only by improving how experts predict how technological innovation will alter energy consumption will we be able to avoid making erroneous energy predictions similar to those made in the 1970s. A large number of entries related to transportation are included because this sector of the economy faces the greatest challenges in the future with regard to energy use. The reliance on imported petroleum and the difficulty in switching to another energy source make the transportation sector particularly vulnerable to supply disruptions and wild price fluctuations. Subjects related to electricity are also well represented because of the rapid pace of growth in the field of electric technology.
