About this book

Nation and the World must move forward with development of a range of energy sources and savings, all with attendant environmental problems.  Solving these problems, and those remaining from past energy-related activities, will require iteration, inclusion, and collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders, including U.S., State and local governmental agencies, Tribal Nations, scientists, environmentalists, public policy makers, and the general public.
