Finally, the journey ends by exploring the technical and economic feasibility of supplying the world by 2050 with sustainable energy only.
Numerous examples are provided to allow the reader to relate important concepts to real-life. The reader’s understanding of the material can then be tested using the exercises at the end of each chapter.
