Solar energy strategy. A policy without an alternative. 5. rev. ed.

More and more analytics of the environmental catastrophe arrive at the frustrating conclusion that collective self-destruction is no longer to be averted and that we are, consequently, in an irreversible process of decline. By contrast, the guiding idea at the basis of this book is that reversal is still possible - although by far more reasons weigh against it than in its favour. It depends on a - feasible - change of the paradigms of political and economic strategies, i.e., a fundamental shift in the principles governing our actions: a new type and quality of a political revolution so far unparalleled. But the threat to be overcome, too, is without parallel in history. (orig./UA). 11 figs., 18 tabs
