Solar energy is considered by many an attractive and practical
option for America's energy future, one that is technically and
commercially feasible as well as socially and environmentally
desirable. Sun-generated power could meet upwards of 20 percent of
U.S. energy needs by the year 2000-but only if there is a concerted
national effort to use this energy option. The issues of
implementation and the public and private initiatives needed to
facilitate a transition to extensive use of solar energy are the
focus of this volume. The solar transition is addressed from the
diverse perspectives of the many necessary participants: industries
and small businesses; local, state, regional, and federal
governments; public utilities; policy analysts; and solar
advocates. The contributors assess the extent to which solar
alternatives can replace and augment other energy forms, the pace
and pattern for solar commercialization, and the roles of public
and private institutions in carrying out the transition. A
consensus becomes apparent: Although the transition to solar energy
is technically and commercially viable, its success depends on
concerted public and private efforts to promote innovation and
diversification in energy production and distribution and to
institute major changes in public policy related to energy use.
