Abstract
Fossil fuels have fueled, pun intended, the amazing economic and technological growth in the developed world for the last 150 years. However, there are four serious problems stemming from the burning of fossil fuels: health concerns, visibility impairment, acid rain and global warming. As such it is necessary for the global society to begin investing in a new renewable energy age. For most of human history, society managed to support itself from the daily incoming delivery of solar radiation. More recent technological, engineering, policy and market advances are availing the development of renewable energy conversion capabilities that will enable a global modern industrial society to prosper.
