'offers knowledge and inspiration to promote renewable energy in developing and industrialized countries'
Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of UNEP

From technology to financing issues, Renewable Energy offers a comprehensive and authoritative review of the determining factors that drive worldwide dissemination of renewable energy technologies. With a clear emphasis on policy and action, contributions from internationally renowned experts combine to form a holistic picture of the current status, impacts and future potential of renewable energy. Addressing the situation in both developing and developed countries, each chapter reviews in detail a different issue, to present extensive information on social, environmental, political, economic and technological aspects. This will be essential reading for professionals in renewable energy, in particular policy-makers, researchers, NGOs and energy consultants, and a valuable resource for teachers and students of renewable energy, environmental studies, development studies, political science and international relations.

As the contributors often note, education is the key: this book deserves to be widely read to help the process along.' http://users.bigpond.net.au 'This wide-ranging review is an impressive attempt to provide an insight into the current state of renewable energy, and the potential that such offer for the future.'
