| Abstract
|
:
|
"With the turn of the century in 2000, the world started to turn its back on the wrong-headed developments of the past that resulted in global pollution and the misery it entails, a climate getting out of control, the threat of a nuclear war, and all that resulted from the unsustainable use of fossil and atomic resources. We have now resolutely engaged ourselves again on the path to a life in harmony with nature, with the Sun. Not only the climate but everyone is a winner going with the Sun and its benefits. Thanks to innovation and mass production, the power derived from the Sun now beats the conventional energy sector with its own strength: socio-economy. Solar energy has become cheaper than the conventional resources. The result is a booming economy that is sustainable, with millions of new jobs. Authored by Wolfgang Palz, an independent expert on energy matters and the economy, this book presents his views on a solar revolution to which he contributed."--Provided by publisher.
