Planet in Conflict: Balancing Energy Needs, Economic Growth, and Environmental Quality

By Tapan Munroe and Raul A. Deju

In the winds of polarization plaguing our country comes a breath of fresh air. Through the concept of "decisional gradualism" Planet in Conflict strives to achieve a balance between energy production, economic growth, social justice, and environmental quality. Planet in Conflict provides a clear description of the conflicted issues regarding energy production and environmental protection and offers many opportunities for compromises and optimism. The authors also lead you to seven detailed steps to achieve a balance among the various issues. It is an interesting read for decision makers, thoughtful members of the public and students. It challenges them to, one step at a time, come to a middle ground that brings energy availability, planet sustainability and social equity together into an ever improving state.
