Annual review of energy. Volume 4
Abstract
An overview of the CONAES study is presented a long with reviews of several major energy supply resources and technologies, including the global uranium resource, the North Sea oil field, U.S. coal production, photochemical conversion of solar energy, and the interfacing of solar wind systems with electric grids. Topics related to energy economics and econometrics include three assessments of energy supply-demand models and projections, and a discussion of issues in the design of utility rate structures. Energy end-use is represented by a review of possible impacts of telecommunications on energy consumption. International policy-related reviews cover energy situation of Canada and the question of international assurance of nuclear fuel supply
