DESCRIPTION:
This is the first book to address the issues of affordable power, sustainable energy, and reduced environmental impact through
the science of energy pricing. Looking at the availability of natural resources from an engineering perspective, and
determining how they can be priced to achieve sustainability in the energy sector, is the aim of this groundbreaking new work.
Most current models used in energy pricing are based on linear analyses. While these models work well for targeted scenarios
within a short time frame, they do not provide one with a scientific tool that can include many facets of the information age.
The existing models do not include environmental sustainability in an integrated fashion.
This is mainly because environmental costs are still considered to be intangible, and intractable with conventional
economic analysis tools. Though one existing model acknowledges some possible theoretical truth to concerns expressed
about the onset of 'peak oil'—the period in which new oil production must begin a decline of unknown and
indefinite duration —this model has little or nothing to say about continuing practices in the extraction and
production of fossil fuel that are themselves based on denying any significance or role for such thinking in the immediate future.
A serious limitation of that discourse is its insistence on polarizing opinions "for" or "against" environmental sustainability,
peak oil, and affordable energy prices. This book proceeds instead to isolate the absence of any agreed criteria for what would
constitute inherently sustainable development and examines the main outlines of the history and political economy of
energy resource exploration and development since the 1850s from this standpoint. It proposes specific directions in which
to take some of the leading alternatives and amendments to current energy pricing practices (as well as some of the
most promising energy development alternatives) in order to fulfill the time criteria required for an inherently sustainable trend.
The author shows how, and why, identifying unsustainable practices and consequences can make a case for closing down
particular oil and gas production operations, while averting the time-wasting approach of trying to fix what really has gone
beyond fixing. However, it is possible, necessary, and actually far better to replace these methods with newer,
scientifically based methods for achieving overall energy sustainability.
This groundbreaking new volume:
Explores new scientific principles on which sustainability within the energy sector can be achieved
Uses pricing and valuation of resources as a tool to present a new methodology for reducing waste and environmental impact in
the energy industry while achieving sustainability for affordable energy
Investigates Return On Investment (ROI), including its relationships to project evaluation and the pricing of outputs, to uncover
how global energy prices and markets are affected by theoretical misunderstanding and practical misrepresentation
Offers a reconsideration of criminal case histories, like Enron, as signal teachers by negative example of the change of
direction needed in how energy pricing has often been done in the past, in order to become sustainable.
