Promoting Renewable Energy in Longyearbyen: A Sustainable Means to Prevent Svalbard's Environmental Degradation
This study aims to separately investigate: 1.The political reasons behind Norway‟s controversial decision to encourage a coal enterprise on Svalbard (an archipelago in the Arctic) and, 2.The current and future potential of wind and solar energy as untapped renewable sources, locally exploited throug...
