Innovative energy strategies for co 2 stabilization discusses the feasi bility 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. Inovative strategies for co2 stabilization describes a broad range of approaches to stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations and the technologies that might make those approaches possible its greatest strength is in its systematic organization of the basic information about the technologies and the issues that may affect their adoption gerald m stokes joint global change research institute college park md. At the same time energy must be supplied in increasing amounts for the developing world to continue its growth this book discusses the feasibility of increasingly efficient energy use and the potential for supplying energy from sources that do not introduce co2 the book analyses the prospects for earth based renewables solar wind biomass hydroelectricity geothermal and ocean energy it . Innovative energy strategies for co2 stabilization robert g watts there is now little question that humans have caused a worldwide rise in carbon dioxide concentrations which projected into the rest of this century will result in catastrophic climate changes around the world
