Reviews

`Roger Fouquet has assembled an All-Star Team of energy economists whose impressive body of work extends from the beginning of the theory of optimal extraction of exhaustible natural resources, all the way through the emergence of exciting new technologies for renewable generation. Along with the honor of appearing here, however, the authors should know that I'll use this terrific collection every time I go looking for the best possible reviewers of new research in renewable energy.' -- Don Fullerton, Editor, Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists
