OverviewRational Exuberance for Renewable Energy is an attempt to blend classical economic theory with the realities of the renewable energy (RE) industry and to identify incentive structures contributing to the success or otherwise of project implementation involving renewable sources. It is an attempt to cut through the hype and to shoot straight at the underlying issues that plague widespread dissemination of RE technologies. Far from being a diatribe on the current state of affairs, Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy is intended as a compilation of the author's meticulously researched articles published by reputed international peer-reviewed journals. Each chapter carries its own list of references, footnotes and endnotes pointing towards sources of additional data, offering clarifications or listing exceptions. Figures and tables are employed to illustrate the author's points. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Srinivasan SunderasanPublisher: Springer London Ltd Imprint: Springer London Ltd Edition: 2011 ed.
