- Summary:
-
"Renewable energy today only accounts for a small fraction of the primary energy used by the world. Cost and the intermittent nature of most of these sources have been the main obstacle to increasing the use of renewable energy. This book reviews the current status of wind, solar, biomass, hydroelectric, wave, tidal, and geothermal energy sources, including estimates of the available supply of each and current prices. As existing solar photovoltaic cells can now provide energy at prices close to that of other sources, it can be expected that solar energy will witness a rapid increase in use parallel to the increase in wind energy over the past decade."--Preface.
