The Solar Economy

An account of how the global economy can and must replace its dependence on fossil fuels with solar and renewable energy - and the enormous and multiple benefits which will follow. The author explodes the myth that fossil fuel is cheaper and maps the road towards renewable energy that will create a genuinely sustainable global economy - and the only secure prospects for future prosperity that can be shared worldwide. Scheer's book offers an alternative programme to what he believes is the fruitless and doomed process of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change and international negotations to reach a consensus with the existing fossil-fuel lobby.

המשפט הראשון: MANY AUTHORS HAVE charted the course of civilization through the development of its energy systems - for instance, Debeir, Deleage and Hemery in their history of energy systems, Smil in Energy in World History, and Sieferle in his work on the history of mankind and the environment.
