Renewable energy technologies, using solar and wind power and other natural energy sources, are now supplying around 30% of UK electricity and appear set to continue expanding to supply around 50% within the next decade. Although the emphasis of the book is on the UK, developments there are compared with those in other countries to provide an overall assessment of the relevance of the UK experience. .Chapters explore why the UK still lags behind many other countries in deploying renewables, in part, it is argued, due to its continued reliance on nuclear power.The book ends with a discussion on what sort of changes may be expected over the coming years. The author does not assume a single answer, but invites readers to consider the possibilities. . | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | renewables; renewable energy in the UK; renewable energy policy; UK energy policy; select committee repo | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-04765-8 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-04765-8Series ISSN 2947-8561 Series E-ISSN 2947-857X | issn_series | 2947-8561 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
