A Comparison of Energy Densities of Prevalent Energy Sources in Units of Joules Per Cubic Meter

Bradley E. Layton, Ph.D Assistant Professor, Energy Technology Program Director, Drexel University Abstract Typically, the energy densities of solids or liquids such as coal and oil are measured in dimensions of energy per unit volume or energy per unit mass, whereas solar, wind, and hydroelectric sources are rated in dimensions of power per unit area. … Read more

Is Sustainable Energy Even Possible at the Global level?

David J. Pristash January 2012 Revised February 2013 Republished with permission ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to place into useful perspective the development of sustainable energy at the global scale.
