About the Book

This book discusses the strategic issues regarding sustainable development of the world’s energy resources from a global perspective and offers solutions. It analyzes the current distribution and development of the world’s fossil fuels and clean energy resources at the same time as it reveals the critical challenges the world is facing in relation to energy development. The book also dissects the trends in the development of clean energy and electricity as fuel substitutes. The author postulates the study and resolution of the world’s energy problems from a perspective that is global, historical, respectful of differences, and open-minded. He goes on to describe the concept of building up a global network of energy interconnections to achieve the sustainable development of energy. Based on his analyses of the world’s electricity demand and supply, and his examination of the development of major energy bases including those in the Arctic and equatorial regions, the writer systematically describes a plan for constructing a global energy interconnection, the roadmap for its implementation, the innovative technologies involved, and the engineering practices required. This book presents an outlook on the development of a global energy interconnection that the whole world can tap into.
