The world is at a pivotal crossroad in energy choices. Technology briefings are provided for each of the major technologies in this book, so that scientific and non-scientific readers can engage in a more level discussion about the choices that are involved.. In addition, many also broadly agree that a way must be found to rely more fully on lower carbon energy sources. Low Carbon Energy Transitions: Turning Points in National Policy and Innovation provides an in-depth view of four energy transitions that have occurred since the global oil crisis of 1973: Brazilian biofuels, Danish wind power, French nuclear power, and Icelandic geothermic energy. There is a strong sense that energy use must be more sustainable. Dr. Traditional energy planning (when done) has revolved around limited cost projections that often failed to take longer term evidence and interactions of a wider set of factors into account. The good news is that such evidence does exist in case studies of different nations shifting toward low-carbon energy approaches. Araújo argues that significant nationwide shifts to low
