Solar Manifesto : The Need for a Total Solar Energy Supply... And How to Achieve It

For Herman Scheer the 'key issues' identified at the Earth Summit in Rio as threats to the environment -- climate change, destruction of the ozone layer, soil, air and water pollution, desertification and deforestation, poverty and migration etc. -- are all energy problems. The only approach that will allow these issues to be tackled effectively is to aim for a global solar energy economy: the complete replacement of fossil fuel and atomic power generation by renewable sources of energy.This tightly argued, persuasive and impassioned championing of solar energy offers solutions to many current environmental and social problems. It presents a profound challenge to conventional thinking, offers new opportunities for industry, and will be an inspiration to everybody concerned with the global environment and development issues.Scheer, Hermann is the author of 'Solar Manifesto : The Need for a Total Solar Energy Supply... And How to Achieve It', published 1994 under ISBN 9781873936320 and ISBN 187393632X.
