Energy sustains our way of life, from a making simple cup of hot coffee to the complex manufacturing of computer hardware. Energy is a ubiquitous presence in our surroundings.
As economies grow, they increase their demand on energy resources – in particular non-renewable fossil fuels. This demand poses questions about the sustained supply of these finite resources, about the efficiency of use and allocation of these resources, and in a different context, about the impacts on human and environmental health associated with their large-scale use.
