Showing results for "Energy Transition" in Science & Engineering

In this user-friendly and informative audiobook, prolific author and academic Vaclav Smil provides an introduction to this far-reaching term and gives the reader a greater understanding of energy's place in both past and present society. Starting with an explanation of the concept, he goes on to cover such exciting topics as the inner workings of the human body, and the race for more efficient and environmentally friendly fuels.

In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results. In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa.

Welcome to the Energy Transitions Podcast, brought to you by Enlit.

We are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and mental illnesses are on the rise. But what causes mental illness? And why are mental health problems so hard to treat? Drawing on decades of research, Harvard psychiatrist Dr. Chris Palmer outlines a revolutionary new understanding that for the first time unites our existing knowledge about mental illness within a single framework: mental disorders are metabolic disorders of the brain. Brain Energy will transform the field of mental health, and the lives of countless people around the world.

To better put into perspective the various issues surrounding energy in the 21st century, you need to understand the essential science behind how energy works. And you need a reliable source whose focus is on giving you the facts you need to form your own educated opinions.

The Science is clear: We must phase out fossil fuels to secure a livable world. But how can we inspire transformational change to our energy systems at the scale required to meet the climate challenge? Could a more hope-based story advance progress towards solutions? It is our belief that the sharing of ideas and innovations through successful just energy stories will promote conversations, connections, new thinking and learning of how everyone can take local action to make massive positive change. Listen and discover the power of conversations worth having and stories that connect us all.

Voici une histoire radicalement nouvelle de l'énergie qui montre l’étrangeté fondamentale de la notion de transition. Elle explique comment matières et énergies sont reliées entre elles, croissent ensemble, s’accumulent et s’empilent les unes sur les autres. Pourquoi la notion de transition énergétique s’est-elle alors imposée ? Comment ce futur sans passé est-il devenu, à partir des années 1970, celui des gouvernements, des entreprises et des experts, bref, le futur des gens raisonnables ?

Depuis Bruxelles, la capitale de l'Union européenne, je vous emmène dans les débats politiques entre acteur·ices européen·nes autour de la crise climatique et la transition énergétique. Comment rester dans les limites de la planète et fidèle aux engagements pris lors de l'Accord de Paris sur le climat tout en assurant l'énergie propre et abordable pour tous·tes les européen·nes? Parfois les différent·es acteur·rices européen·nes n'ont point les mêmes réponses à cette question, et les priorités varient de pays en pays, entre partis politiques et entre les différents ...
