Item #d91jul96
The Energy Alternative: Changing the Way the World Works, W.C.
Patterson, 186 pp., 1990, £16.99 (Boxtree, London). Reviewed by W. Donnelly
in Energy Policy, pp. 188-189, Mar. 1991.
The author would have the public and decision makers focus upon services
provided by fuels and energy rather than on the commodities themselves. This
would allow for innovations in the use of alternative fuels and more efficient
use of all fuels and energy.
Item #d91jul97
Green Energy: A Non-nuclear Response to the Greenhouse Effect, D.
Toke, 180 pp., 1990, £4.95 (Greenprint, UK). Reviewed by S. Boyle in Energy
Policy, pp. 86-87, Jan.-Feb. 1991.
Summarizes detailed technical arguments and data on the potential roles of
energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. Aimed at British socialists,
according to the reviewer, yet very clearly details the basis of its analysis
and recommended policies.
