520 3  What do we want from sustainable energy? What is possible 
       to achieve and when? Energy professionals and political 
       leaders need a solid, holistic understanding of where the 
       world finds its energy--the limits of that energy--and 
       what must change in the future if we are to have a more 
       environmentally sustainable world, all without sacrificing
       our modern technologically-based civilization. This book 
       sheds some much needed light on that conundrum.
