Policies, Practices, and Pathways for Sustainable Energy

In part I of this book, we provided an overview of the challenges for meeting future energy demand, demonstrating that regardless of the future energy mix, energy sprawl will be significant and likely lead to land-use conflict. In part II we highlighted best-practice options for reducing this conflict, offering innovative solutions to improve the future energy footprint. Now in this chapter we turn our attention to steps that establish those best practices as common practice for achieving sustainable energy landscapes that meet energy, economic, social, and environmental goals.
