Renewable energy

The escalating prices of crude oil on internartional energy markets has created an added urgency to the need to renew the search for affordable and easily available sources of renewable energy.
Rapidly depleting sources of fossil and atomic fuels have once again underlined the need for renewable energy sources. Fossil and atomic fuels have created at least two major political, military and economic conflicts between the nations of the world. The war in Iraq, and the rebellion in the Niger delta of Nigeria can easily be traced to control of fossil fuel sources. The third and rapidly developing conflict between the United States, the European Union, and Israel on one side, and Iran on the other is over the use of atomic fuels for energy.
When the world's intellectuals, imagine a situation when solar energy, wind power, hydrogen and fuel cells provide 70% of the world's energy use, they wonder if this political military and economic conflicts would arise.
My up-coming e-book on renewable energy, takes a comprehensive look at these and other issues, related to the uses and sources of energy.
