The Great Transition
Shifting from Fossil Fuels to Solar and Wind Energy
14 April 2015
Description
The great energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy is under way.
As oil insecurity deepens, the extraction risks of fossil fuels rise and concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new world energy economy is emerging. The old economy, fuelled by oil, natural gas and coal is being replaced with one powered by wind, solar and geothermal energy.
