ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of the book. The book examines how policymakers can better ensure that robust green energy policies are selected and enacted to best ensure the achievement of a sustainable future for all of us and for all future inhabitants on this planet. It explores the consequence of uncoordinated energy policies, as currently exist in multiple settings. The book discusses the consequences of energy policies developed for purposes of ‘national security’ and for ‘energy security’; that the rule sets operate in both green energy and fossil fuel policy spaces causes additional concern for guiding energy policy to a greener future. It also explores the dangers to green energy policies created by international trade laws that were designed to aid developing economies but without intent to address green energy policy concerns.
