The text covers the development and global adoption of each energy source, along with their environmental and economic impacts, resulting in a comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the subject. This approach provides the reader with a one-stop reference for each particular energy source, making the information accessible to all, regardless of discipline or current level of experience with each energy source. Specific topics covered in Alternative and Unconventional Energy Sources include: The controversial perception of shale gas and its future potential as an energy source Technologies to reduce harmful emissions of CO2 and other waste gases and their potential to cause less global warming Downsides of commonly accepted alternative energy sources, such as the disposal of nuclear waste and land requirements for solar panels How undeveloped countries can make use of local energy sources to become more efficient and competitive Alternative and Unconventional Energy Sources is a highly accessible and useful resource for geographers, geologists, petroleum engineers, renewable energy specialists, and policy makers who wish to understand the current state of global energy production and where the industry may turn in the coming years. 4aRenewable Energy 4aEnvironmental Economics & Politics 4aGeneral Energy00awind energy; solar energy; ocean; energy; geothermal energy; shale gas energy; shale gas; renewable energy; unconventional energy; alternative energy; natural energy sources; coal production; greenhouse gases; renewable resources08iPrinted edition:z978111950059940uhttps://doi.org/10.1002/9781119500612aWiley Online Library40uhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/action/showBook?doi=10.1002%2F9781119500612aWiley Online Library423Cover Imageuhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/8760dca1-3824-4b1f-89c9-23104ae33867/9781119500612.cover.gifaWiley Online Library
