The papers in this volume were presented at the Energy and Resource Workshop Series at Texas A&M University. Topics presented at the workshops were forums for the discussion of research concerning the economics of energy and other natural resources. Chapter topics include: new competition developing in the electric utility industry; the availability of fossil fuels throughout the coming century; innovations in natural gas exploration and production; and international cooperation to limit carbon emissions. This volume makes a timely and important addition to the series.
