Summary
Projecting how we produce and use energy a generation or more into the future is a task fraught with challenges, but Dieter Helm's Burn Out does just that while avoiding the usual pitfalls. This new book identifies three "predictable surprises" that will affect our energy future and traces their economic effects. Along the way, Helm provides a concise primer on the history of global energy economics, politics, and diplomacy.
