About the Book
After the advent of the industrial revolution, the world experienced a rapid change in technology and lifestyle, which has led to a dramatic increase in energy demand. Unfortunately, many of the energy resources used in the past have negatively impacted the environment, from greenhouse gases to the depletion of natural resources. Society now faces the challenge of ensuring sustainable and clean energy production so that society may receive efficient energy without damaging the Earth’s health. In order to promote an environmentally healthy society, strategic green policies must be developed. Eco-Friendly and Agile Energy Strategies and Policy Development establishes interdisciplinary coverage in sustainable energy development by strategic thinking and lifestyle changes by designing agile energy strategies and policies. It offers research, experiences, and lessons learned that offer integrated conceptual and empirical contributions from different interrelated fields. Covering topics such as energy security risks, green economy, and solar power plants, this premier reference source is an indispensable resource for engineers, government officials, business leaders, environmentalist organizations, economists, sociologists, students and educators of higher education, libraries, researchers, and academicians.
