Olson -- Rural energy use and the challenges for energy conservation and efficiency / Matteo Muratori. 520 $a "Rapid changes in energy production and consumption are having major socioeconomic implications for the communities of rural America. Technological developments in horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing (fracking) nuclear energy, biofuels, wind and solar energy have significantly increased domestic energy production and the production of energy from renewable sources has encouraged energy efficiency. Yet, severe concerns persist and policy decisions on energy issues will have profound implications for all Americans and rural communities where consequences are experienced most directly. Thus, the time is appropriate for a careful exploration of the socioeconomic implications of our energy future. The purpose of this book is to present timely and scientifically sound information on energy policy, socioeconomic aspects of energy production and consumption with a focus on rural areas. The book presents the latest research by top scholars with the goal of clarifying options and providing the basis for informed policy decisions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Energy policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Energy development $z United States. 650 0 $a Land use, Rural $z United States. 650 0 $a Rural development $z United States. 700 1 $a Albrecht, Don E., $e editor of compilation. 830 0 $a Routledge studies in energy policy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826102729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E238B3566B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
