While the nation considers the need for energyindependence to be critical due to the fact thathalf the nation’s oil consumption is imported,the resulting economic consequences of a peakelectricity shortfall would be as bad or worsegiven the nation’s reliance on electricity to cool,light, and power motors and computers.Focusing on these issues, this book discusses theavailable energy technologies and programmat-ic procedures to reduce electricity peaks or peak-shaving in the United States.
