We need to drastically change our energy mix, relying far more on renewable energy. If we can make this shift, we might avoid the most disastrous effects of global climate change. Increasing energy efficiency and avoiding waste is, without doubt, where we must begin. In addition, we urgently need to increase the proportion of renewable energies in our energy mix. Among those, direct solar energy harvested as solar thermal energy and through photovoltaic energy conversion are the most promising. Full story.
