Energy economics and technology /
LeBel, Phillip G.
Energy economics and technology / Phillip G. LeBel - Baltimore, Maryland : Johns Hopkins University Press, c1982 - xxii, 551 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes index.
Part I. Energy Crises and Public Policy -- Part II. Technological Dimensions of Energy Resources -- Part III. The Economics of Energy Resources -- Part IV. The Design and Implementation of Energy Policy.
The ideas presented in this text are a product of a personal and professional interest. Like many individuals, I have been intrigued and concerned with the dramatic changes in the prices and uses of energy during the past decade. As I looked for answers to the many questions posed by the energy "crisis," I found it necessary to go beyond the more popular literature on the subject to a systematic investigation of the underlying economic and technical factors that shape energy decisions. When I extended that interest to the classroom, it seemed only natural that I should organize these ideas into a more structured form. Though the literature on energy has continued to grow at a dramatic rate, I hope that the concepts put forth here can at least serve as an introduction to the subject for both student and professional readers.
