Dramatic forest fires in California, flooding in Mozambique,
unusual heat waves in Europe, hurricanes of strength never seen
before-the world's climate is getting out of control. The list of
human casualties and damage in billions of euros and dollars is
getting longer day by day. Weather experts and climatologists make
it clear that global carbon dioxide emissions are accelerating, and
as a consequence, the world's climate is becoming unpredictable.
This book, an updated edition of The Triumph of the Sun: The Energy
of the New Century, is not another disaster report. It brings good
news. It presents the details of a solar revolution that started
with the dawn of the new century. The new solar energy conquered
the markets and sidelined the conventional sources. Supplemented
with the latest facts and figures, the book features new and
updated sections on topics such as climate change, greenhouse gas
emissions, carbon allowances and CO2 taxes, auto-consumption, and
renewable energy for heat and transport. Energy being at the heart
of economic development and everybody's well-being, the new
dominance of the renewables, which are the key to combating global
change, revolutionized our society as a whole for the better. The
author of the book witnessed the progress of this solar revolution
and was one of the pioneers in the development of modern solar
technologies.
