Читать книгу Renewable Energy - David Elliott - Страница 15

The emphasis in this book is on energy policy, in particular the technological choices ahead. I have tried to use plain English and avoid technical terms but, inevitably, getting on top of what is a complex field requires some understanding of basic energy systems and technology and related issues. Box 1.3 provides a short guide to the measurement units used in this book. Perhaps surprisingly, not all of the metrics used are uncontroversial.
