Perspective
"The transition from fossil fuels to renewable resources
is a long and expensive but an absolutely vital process. We need
a long term (30 to 50 years), high-priority program using a substantial
part of the GNP and covering the entire scope – from fundamental
research to commercial installation strategy – to gradually
replace the fossil fuels we use for power generation, transportation
and industrial thermal energy."
- Jacob Karni, from Special
