In chapter 6 Goldemberg describes global energy trends, looking at different forms of energy production, different uses, and different countries.  He then considers likely future scenarios.  In chapter 7 Goldemberg looks at ways to move to a more sustainable production and use of energy, covering a wide range from household stoves to nuclear power plants.
