Renewable Energy : Power for a Sustainable Future
The provision of sustainable energy supplies for an expanding and increasingly productive world is one of the major issues facing civilisation today. Renewable Energy examines both the practical and economic potential of the renewable energy sources to meet this challenge.The underlying physical and technological principles behind deriving power from direct solar (solar thermal and photovoltaics), indirect solar (biomass, hydro, wind and wave) and non-solar (tidal and geothermal) energy sources are explained, within the context of their environmental impacts, their economics and their future prospects. Renewable Energy provides both perspective and detail on the relative merits and state of progress of technologies for utilizing the various 'renewables'.The analysis considers emissions, sustainability, cost implications and energy security, as political and economic pressures move society towards a low-carbon future.From an overview of basic energy conversion processes, through a discussion of the individual renewable sources, to a concluding examination of the prospects for their integration into national and international networks and the outlook for renewable energy, this book provides a valuable insight into prospects for the renewables. Online resources Renewable Energy is accompanied by online resources which include: For students:· Auto- marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapter· Curated links to further information and up-to-date energy statistics.For registered adopters of the book:· Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures

Can you explain virtue ethics, duty ethics, and goods ethics?
Virtue ethics focuses on the character of the individual and emphasizes the development of virtuous traits such as honesty, courage, and compassion. It is concerned with cultivating moral excellence and living a good life. Duty ethics, also known as deontological ethics, is based on the idea that certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of their consequences. It emphasizes the importance of following moral rules and fulfilling one's duties and obligations. Goods ethics, or consequentialism, evaluates the morality of an action based on its outcomes or consequences. It focuses on maximizing the overall good or happiness and considers the potential impact of an action on others.

Is Buddhist ethics comparable to Christian ethics?
Buddhist ethics and Christian ethics share some similarities, such as the emphasis on compassion, love, and non-violence. Both traditions also promote the idea of treating others with kindness and respect. However, there are also significant differences between the two, such as the concept of sin and salvation in Christianity, which is not present in Buddhism. Additionally, the role of divine authority and the concept of God differs between the two traditions. Overall, while there are some common ethical principles, the underlying beliefs and foundations of Buddhist and Christian ethics are distinct.

What is the most efficient way to store energy from renewable energy sources?
The most efficient way to store energy from renewable sources is through battery storage systems. These systems can store excess energy generated from sources like solar or wind power and release it when needed, providing a reliable and consistent energy supply. Battery storage also allows for flexibility in managing energy demand and supply, making it a key component in integrating renewable energy into the grid. Additionally, advancements in battery technology continue to improve efficiency and reduce costs, making it an increasingly viable option for storing renewable energy.

Does Kant's deontological ethics contradict Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics?
Kant's deontological ethics and Aristotle's eudaemonistic ethics have some fundamental differences, but they do not necessarily contradict each other. Kant's ethics focus on duty and the intention behind actions, while Aristotle's ethics emphasize achieving eudaimonia, or human flourishing, through virtuous actions. While Kant's emphasis on duty can sometimes conflict with Aristotle's emphasis on virtue, both ethical theories ultimately aim to guide individuals towards leading a good and moral life. Therefore, while they may approach ethics from different perspectives, they can be seen as complementary rather than contradictory.

Inclusive and Sustainable Finance : Leadership, Ethics and Culture
Instead of being a means to an end, finance has become an end in itself and a master of economic actions and priorities.The role of ethics, culture and faith has been diminished by neoliberalism over the last forty years, such that we are living through a profound moral crisis, rising inequality and plutocracy.This practice is destroying the social and trust capital that already exists and is in need of replenishing.This pioneering book draws upon diverse wisdom traditions and their current living business practices to show that not only is another world possible, but it is actually hiding in plain sight.The author argues that our obsession with technocratic economic science has disabled us from exposing the organic and culturally diverse practices of finance.The climate and inequality crises demand new institutional and cultural solutions to transform behaviour and heal the planet.Through real-life examples and case studies, this book illustrates and develops a new organic theory of finance which can be taught and shared all over the world, helping society to prepare for a sustainable and inclusive future.It provides valuable empowerment to experts and professionals from different cultures and traditions to write about their own finance practices and in turn encourage their students and communities to embrace sustainability ideals.There is a global audience for this book, given its multicultural outlook and the diversity of narratives and case studies, from entrepreneurs to MBA students and leaders in accounting and finance.It also has huge relevance for policymakers and educators keen on embracing sustainable finance in their curriculum.

Sustainable Energy in Central Asia : Transition Towards Renewable Energy Sources in Uzbekistan
This book argues that sustainable energy development represents a new frontier for many transitional economies, including those countries that are well endowed with traditional energy resources, as exemplified by the case of Uzbekistan in Central Asia.The book highlights the challenges and issues faced by the energy sector in countries which are undergoing a transition from government-led economic models to open market economies.Using Uzbekistan as a case study, the book demonstrates these challenges, as well as opportunities of being part of an increasingly interconnected global market, to show how governments can ensure inclusive economic growth and build pathways toward sustainable development by deploying renewable energy sources (RES).By applying the Quadruple Bottom Line strategy as a conceptual framework to evaluate social, economic, and environmental benefits and governance as a key dynamic component, the book includes recommendations for implementing a transition strategy to renewable energy consumption for developing countries and offers insights into ways of dealing with government policy in post-Soviet countries. Presenting a holistic approach to promoting RES deployment in Uzbekistan and elsewhere, this book will be of interest to researchers interested in energy transition in developing countries, development economics, Central Asian politics, and the management of natural resources and climate-change issues.

Is Nicomachean Ethics the same as Virtue Ethics?
Nicomachean Ethics is a specific work by Aristotle that is considered one of the foundational texts in virtue ethics. While Nicomachean Ethics is a key text within the broader framework of virtue ethics, virtue ethics itself is a broader ethical theory that encompasses various other works and perspectives beyond just Aristotle's. So, while Nicomachean Ethics is a significant part of virtue ethics, they are not exactly the same thing.

Is responsibility ethics the same as future ethics?
Responsibility ethics and future ethics are related but not the same. Responsibility ethics focuses on the moral obligations and duties that individuals and organizations have in the present moment, while future ethics considers the ethical implications of our actions on future generations and the long-term consequences of our choices. While responsibility ethics emphasizes the immediate impact of our actions, future ethics considers the broader and long-term effects of our decisions on the well-being of future generations and the sustainability of the planet. Both are important aspects of ethical decision-making, but they address different time frames and perspectives.
