• Note (General): Introduction -- How "normal" came to be -- Why a renewable world will be different -- pt. I. The context : it's all about energy -- 1. Energy 101 -- What is energy? -- Laws of thermodynamics -- Net energy -- Life cycle impacts -- Operational versus embodied energy -- Energy resource criteria -- 2. A quick look at our current energy system -- Growth -- Energy rich, energy poor -- Energy resources -- End use -- pt. II. Energy supply in a renewable world : opportunities and challenges -- 3. Renewable electricity: falling costs, variability, and scaling challenges -- Price is less of a barrier -- Intermittency -- Storage -- Grid redesign -- Demand management -- Capacity redundancy -- Scaling challenges -- Lessons from Spain and Germany --- Pushback against wind and solar -- 4. Transportation : the substitution challenge -- Electrification -- Biofuels -- Hydrogen -- Natural gas -- Sails and kites -- A less mobile all-renewable future -- 5. Other uses of fossil fuels : the substitution challenge continues -- High-temperature heat for industrial processes -- Low-temperature heat -- Fossil fuels for plastics, chemicals, and other materials -- Where's our stuff? -- 6. Energy supply : how much will we have? how much will we need? -- Energy returned on energy invested of renewables -- Building solar and wind with solar and wind -- Investment requirements -- The efficiency opportunity : we may not need as much energy -- Energy intensity -- The role of curtailment and the problem of economic growth -- 7. What about ...? -- Nuclear power -- Carbon capture and storage -- Massive technology improvements -- pt. III. Preparing for our renewable future -- 8. Energy and justice -- Energy and equity in the least industrialized countries -- Energy and equity in rapidly industrializing nations -- Energy and equity in highly industrialized countries -- Policy frameworks for enhancing justice while cutting carbon -- 9. What government can do -- Support for an overall switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy -- Support for research and development of ways to use renewables to power more industrial processes and transport -- Conservation of fossil fuels for essential purposes -- Support for energy conservation in general : efficiency and curtailment -- Better greenhouse gas accounting -- 10. What we the people can do -- Individuals and households -- Communities -- Climate and environmental groups, and their funders -- 11. What we learned -- We really need a plan : no, lots of them -- Scale is the biggest challenge -- It's not all about solar and wind -- We must begin preadapting to having less energy -- Consumerism is a problem, not a solution -- Population growth makes everything harder -- Fossil fuels are too valuable to allocate solely by the market -- Everything is connected -- This really does change everything.
