"""Editor Lauber offers a very useful guide to policy makers who must write the rules concerning renewable power projects. The book emphasizes wind projects as they are the most important in the near term. Although technically the problem of producing wind-generated electrical power in commercial quantities is solved, there are several ways to achieve optimal social results. the Individual chapter authors are experts from many countries and their combined international expertise is invaluable. The problem is in seeking a balance between the producer, financers, governmental agencies, consumers, and existing power-supplying infrastructure. Many charts, graphs, and an extensive bibliography plus a notes section follow each chapter. For all students of the energy field. Summing Up: highly recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates; graduate students; faculty; professionals; two-year technical program students.""--J. C. Comer, emeritus, Northern Illinois University in CHOICE"
