Surveying recent surges in technological innovations, Helm's provocative new book documents how the global move toward the internet-of-things will inexorably reduce the demand for oil, gas, and renewables-and prove more effective than current efforts to avert climate change. Oil companies and energy utilities must begin to adapt their existing business models or face future irrelevancy. Oil-exporting nations, particularly in the Middle East, will be negatively impacted, whereas the United States and European countries that are investing in new technologies may find themselves leaders in the geopolitical game. Timely and controversial, this book concludes by offering advice on what governments and businesses can and should do now to prepare for a radically different energy future. 650 0 $a Energy industries. 650 0 $a Energy development $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Energy consumption $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Renewable energy sources. 650 0 $a Fossil fuels $x Environmental aspects. 941 $a 3 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20230629023810.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806024320.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20171129010339.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0CA5CB62621111E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
