当一种全新的燃料或技术改变能源系统时，会发生什么？能源系统在经济发展的不同阶段如何演变？对人们的生活和环境有什么影响？在这本激动人心的书中，罗杰·富凯（Roger Fouquet）以一篇获奖文章为基础，研究了过去700年来技术创新和经济发展对我们提供热能、电力、运输和照明能力的影响。该分析使用十多年来收集的独特数据集，确定了推动能源服务革命的力量。它突出表明，市场倾向于提供越来越便宜的能源服务，这反过来又刺激了更大的能源消费。它还研究了这些革命如何影响人们的福祉和环境。本书的框架、分析和见解为未来能源市场、向低碳经济转型和应对气候变化的战略提供了一个原创的视角。热，电力和光是一个宝贵的和独特的贡献，这一深刻的重要课题。因此，它将吸引能源经济学家、气候变化分析师、政策制定者、经济和技术历史学家以及更广泛的经济学家。
What happens when a radically-new fuel or technology transforms the energy system? How does the energy system evolve at different stages of economic development? What are the implications for people’s lives and their environment? Building on an award-winning article, in this exciting book Roger Fouquet investigates the impacts of technological innovations and economic development over the last seven hundred years on our ability to provide heat, power, transport and light. Using a unique data set, collected over a decade, the analysis identifies the forces driving revolutions in energy services. It highlights the tendency of markets to produce ever-cheaper energy services, which in turn incite greater energy consumption. It also examines how these revolutions affect people’s well-being and the environment. The framework, analysis and insights in this book offer an original perspective on future energy markets, transitions to low-carbon economies and strategies for addressing climate change. Heat, Power and Light is an invaluable and unique contribution to this profoundly important topic. As such it will appeal to a wide audience of energy economists, climate change analysts, policymakers, economic and technology historians and economists more broadly.
