Surveying recent surges in technological innovations, Helm's provocative new book documents how the global move toward the internet-of-things will inexorably reduce the demand for oil, gas, and renewables-and prove more effective than current efforts to avert climate change. Oil companies and energy utilities must begin to adapt their existing business models or face future irrelevancy. Oil-exporting nations, particularly in the Middle East, will be negatively impacted, whereas the United States and European countries that are investing in new technologies may find themselves leaders in the geopolitical game. Timely and controversial, this book concludes by offering advice on what governments and businesses can and should do now to prepare for a radically different energy future 0aEnergy industries 0aEnergy developmentxEnvironmental aspects 0aEnergy consumptionxEnvironmental aspects 0aRenewable energy sources 0aFossil fuelsxEnvironmental aspects 02local94aPrint books.  2lcccBOOKS  00102lcc4070aAUbAUcGENd2017-10-29l0oHD9502.A2 H4549 2017pAU00000000010501r2017-10-29 00:00:00v250.00w2017-10-29yBOOKS
