Publisher's Synopsis
Energy ensures the functioning of almost all elements of modern society from large industrial and transport systems to computer devices and households. The constant increase in population, the lack of energy resources and their uneven distribution, impact on the environment, globalisation and other factors are critical to achieving energy sustainability. Judging by diverse forecasts, global energy consumption could double by mid-century. Growing tensions in the market of fossil fuels make it difficult to resolve this problem by increasing the use of traditional energy resources. The solution will require the use of both nuclear energy and renewables.
