The Solar Economy by Hermann Scheer
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.
Hermann Scheer is a member of the German parliament (the Bundestag) and Chairman of Eurosolar. One of the most active and influential campaigners for solar and renewable energy, he was awarded the Alternative Nobel Prize in 1999.
