Energy Policy Analysis: A Conceptual Framework
"Michael Hamilton has done an excellent job of comparing the economic, environmental, and national security costs of various energy choices; explaining the barriers that have prevented assembling an acceptable mix of energy usages; and analyzing how these impediments may be surmounted, ameliorated, or accommodated. The disparate energy stakeholders will benefit from pondering his work." --Robert Lawrence, Colorado State University"The author writes clearly throughout and includes high-quality, useful, and impactful illustrations and graphs. ... With the book's strong technical content and lengthy discussions of relevant social and economic issues, it will be very useful to energy policy analysts, development engineers or entrepreneurs, and energy policy makers as well as students in associated disciplines. The author's use of three select cost evaluation categories provides an excellent tool to draw comparisons for articulating effective policy directions. ... Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." --Choice
