use, sources and
alternatives Very
well written compilation of the current thinking about
energy production and use today. Tables such as ╘U.S.

primary energy consumption by
source and sector, 2008╒ (pg. 26) serve to highlight the
issues we are facing as
energy consumers and producers in the United States. Green
