Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

■ Geographies of energy today may be as much structured by politics and institutions as by geographies of resources. ■ Venezuela is seeking to profit more from its oil, and to include the poor in the benefits. There is much dispute about its effectiveness at both. ■ Biofuels are being promoted as a solution for poor countries, but there is intense debate as to whether biofuels are really green or really pro-poor.
