Low Carbon Energy Transitions explores some of the less understood aspects of change in national energy sourcing and use. Utilizing four case histories of energy transitions since the global oil crisis of 1973, the book weighs in on questions about the role of government and innovation in meeting evolving energy priorities. Highlighting the surprising speed and level of transformation that can occur in 15 years or less, Low Carbon Energy Transitions challenges conventional thinking about timescales and complexity. It also highlights how least-cost metrics in decision-making are important, but can miss larger gains in societal development and industrial leadership.
