The vast majority of the world's climate scientists believe that the build-up in the atmosphere of heat-trapping gas carbon dioxide wil lead to global warming in the next century unless we burn less coal, oil and natural gas. At the same time, it is clear that energy must be supplied in increasing amounts if the developed world is to avoid economiccollapse and if developing countries are to attain wealth. Innovative Energy Strategies for CO2 Stabilization discusses the feasibility of increasingly efficient energy use for limiting energy requirements as well as the potential for supplying energy from sources that do not introduce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
