The future of energy has become a critical question in public policy debate around the world. Increasing political instability in the Middle East, the high price of oil on world markets, global warming, and escalating first and third world debt are forcing the nations of the world to ask a fundamental question. How do we begin preparing for a post-fossil fuel era?
What we so desperately need is a roadmap to a renewable energy future and a hydrogen-based economy. Woody Clark and Ted Bradshaw have spent more than two decades each at the center of public policy with Clark asking the technological and economic questions and Bradshaw the community context around America's energy options. At a time when few individuals have been willing to suggest a way out of the old energy regime, they have stepped forward with real solutions that can be implemented in America and around the world.
This book is a promissory note for a global clean energy future. It should be widely read, discussed, and be made part of the ongoing public debate. A roadmap indeed, this work provides policy makers with insightful directions and the private sector with near-term and future markets. In the end, the book defines what the practical world of energy is today and can be in the future. More importantly, that New World energy order is not isolated, but inextricably linked to other infrastructure sectors such as water, waste, climate, transportation and most importantly, education. After all, the future of the world is in the hands of our children. It is our responsibility to make them participants and owners of the new clean peaceful world order today.
