Introduction

Abstract

Energy and electricity have become key elements and drivers in the modern world. In our networked economies with digital products and processes and device-driven consumption stabile, riskless, and justly priced electricity supply is the current day basement upon which everything else more or less builds on. At the same time the use of many primary energy sources can be connected with greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. This basement has also gone through heavy structural changes and even bigger changes can be seen in the future. In this book we try to envision and analyze these changes with an economist’s eye.
