Society currently faces critical and unprecedented decisions involving energy supply, use, and regulation. The Energy-Environment Connection brings together leading scientists and policy analysts to provide the latest thinking on all aspects of the vital connection between energy and the environment. Its goal is to help citizens and leaders find ways to balance the costs and benefits of energy within the context of global sustainability.

Jack M. Hollander was professor emeritus of energy and resources at the University of California, Berkeley. The author of more than one-hundred research papers and seventeen edited books, Hollander was the first director of the Energy and Environment Division at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.
