There are very many things we can add to this section. But we’ll keep it brief and clear.

As a minimum,  listen to:

Herman Sheer, the German solar energy advocate and game changer.

Jeremy Leggett, founder of The Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security, Solarcentury and SolarAid, talking on Radio EchoShock about Light versus Oil, February 2011.

Jeremy Leggett on the energy crisis.

Can solar meet our energy needs?

Yes, it can play a significant part in meeting our needs. Greenpeace International and The European Photovoltaic Industry Association research shows solar PV could supply over 20% of the world’s power by 2050.

Friends of the Earth, The Renewable Energy Association, The Solar Trade Association, Country Land and Business Association, WWF, National Farmers Union and LowCarbonEconomy.com all agree, and recently took out an advert in The New Statesman to illustrate solar’s full potential.
