Electrical power engineering systems: an assessment of their impact on global climatic change

Energy expenditure, energy utilization, fossil fuel reserves and reservoir depletion rates collectively disguise and distract attention from the impact of engineering practice on potential climate change. These diversions are further compounded by the attention paid to strategic economic policies which may be microfocused or, alternatively, may be on a wider scale encompassing gross domestic product studies on a continental basis. This paper addresses some of the critical issues
