Electricity is a premium fuel. The second law of thermodynamics testifies to this, as does the relationship between coal-fired electricity and the negative externality of greenhouse warming. Electricity prices should reflect its status as a premium fuel. Ease of transition in such a regime would be fostered by the taking up of options for energy efficiency and renewable sources of supply. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Journal of Environment, Workplace and Employment, 3(1), p. 28-36 | Publisher: | Inderscience Publishers | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1741-8445 1741-8437 |
