      • Reasons for recommending:
        Uses backcasting from a process involving stakeholders including academics, NGOs, and the renewable energy industry. Uses carbon emission targets as starting point. Provides a perspective on current energy policy discussions that contrasts the IEA World Energy Outlook projections with more "realistic" projections without being overly optimistic. Uses conservative assumptions to modify projections based on business-as-usual scenarios. Focuses on regional and global scale and on all forms of energy production.
