Overview

Supplies, distribution, and use of energy began to have profound political, economic, social, and environmental effects in the United States and throughout the world in the second half of the 20th century. Today, the quest for oil and other sources of energy not only continues to influence the contentious politics of the Middle East but to affect nations everywhere. The search for new energy sources and the by-products of energy use have contributed to the pollution of the planet and, many experts believe, to the climate change called global warming. These effects are expected to increase dramatically as the demand for energy grows in developing as well as developed countries and as the supplies of energy sources, especially fossil fuels, dwindle. Virtually every aspect of the energy situation is hotly debated. Can new technology help alternate energy sources play a greater role in meeting the world's energy needs? Will competition for energy cause new wars or economic collapses? What form and degree of regulation can best provide energy for everyone at fair prices? How can the environmental effects of supplying and using energy be controlled? Energy Supply discusses these questions and more.
