OF GENERAL INTEREST

Item #d91feb45

Emerging Energy Technologies: Impacts and Policy Implications, M. Grubb, 130 pp., expected May 1991, £25 (Wildwood). Examines potentially important technologies, the mechanisms by which they may develop and enter the market, and their potential and probable roles.
