  • Abstract
    Reports on effective energy planning strategies for the future. We are in a period of energy transition away from the transient bonanza provided by low-cost petroleum and natural gas. Because of worldwide inflation in basic energy costs during the past 10 years, industrial nations now face two alternatives: accommodate to perceived shortages and plan an energy-limited society or exploit new energy sources to ensure their availability,even though they may be more costly than today´s sources.
