China's Energy Future: The Middle Kingdom Seeks Its Place in the Sun

by Robert E. Ebel, James Schlesinger

Overview

Ebel (Center for Strategic and International Studies), a seasoned expert on energy strategy (particularly of the former Soviet Union and the Persian Gulf), presents a succinct guide to China's current energy situation and the challenges of finding the right combination of market incentives, conservation policies, pollution abatement efforts, and energy supply diversification. He considers China's growth, whether it's sustainable, and such difficult predictions as whether the population is aging so rapidly that China will grow old before it grows rich, among other topics pertinent to energy planners and policy makers.
