In 2007 we brought a report to the General Assembly entitled “Energy for a Changing Climate”; it dealt with how we produce energy, how we use it, and how we can save it. What was said within that report was that two even more intractable problems remained to be addressed: heating and transport. The 2008 report focuses on transport.
In contrast to fossil and nuclear fuels, renewable energy offers alternative sources of energy for the future that will not run out, which in general add little to the pollution and waste problems caused by fossil fuels, without the risks attendant on nuclear power.
