Description

Considerable effort and money are devoted to developing alternative energy sources such as wind power solar power cellulosic ethanol and biofuels. This ebook is a collection of research papers on alternative energy sources presented at the Economics of Alternative Energy Sources and Globalization: The Road Ahead Conference that was held in November 2009 in Orlando Florida. Thirty-three papers were presented by leading experts in the field with about half being published in the e-book. Several of the papers explored the economics of biofuels produced from corn sugarcane and/or forestry materials. Two of the papers addressed the link between biofuel production and U.S. agricultural policy and how biofuels could reduce U.S. Treasury costs even though biofuels increase food prices. International subsidies promote alternative fuel production (e.g. Brazil). This ebook should be a very useful resource for readers interested in alternative energy research and related economic policy.
