Thermal Engineering Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Ideas, hopes, and disappointments related to a quarter-century research into the laws of power industry development and its relations with society are reviewed; new hypotheses concerning the character and characteristics of these relations are formulated, and some preliminary results of the quantitative verification of these hypotheses are presented. The scope of future investigations is outlined and difficulties encountered in the attempts to collect the necessary retrospective information are considered.
