The Solar Economy

A masterly sequel to the author's earlier work 'A Solar Manifesto', which takes the debate right into the economic mainstay of the current global economy. This is the single most important work on the potential of solar energy by the President of Eurosolar, who is also a German MP. The arguments are familiar: we can only escape the 'life-threatening fossil fuel resource trap if every effort is made to bring about an immediate transition to renewable and environmentally sustainable resources and thereby end our dependence on fossil fuels'. But the opposition of the current status quo will not allow this to happen until the situation is too far gone, so more conflict is likely, at least in the medium term. However, if you want to be informed about an economically viable and sustainable alternative, this book is a good place to begin.
