Energy and Ethics Reviews

Sovacool writes with the authority of an expert, has amassed an impressive list of references, and makes his points quantitatively with numerous graphs and tables. Overall, Sovacool has presented his readers with well-documented ethical challenges stemming from our prodigious energy consumption. Earth would be a better place for all its species if we adhered to Sovacools eight principles, and his well-documented case studies point the way. (Richard Wolfson, Technology and Culture, Vol. 56, April, 2015
