This volume provides an insightful overview of renewable and alternative energy technologies and policies in the United States and around the world.

Are renewable and alternative energy solutions needed to combat many of the negative effects of fossil fuel (including global warming)? Can such solutions be "clean," and still economically viable?

It then looks at a number of specific questions and controversies on this issue, examining the social, political, and economic aspects of renewable and alternative energy use in the United States and other countries-detailing different approaches and activities of international organizations, national governments, and private sector initiatives.
