FARRINGTON DANIELS ADDRESS, 1997 IN THE SERVICE OF MANKIND

摘要

In the past 5 years the general attitude towards solar energy has turned from negative to positive. This in itself, however, will not accelerate the introduction of solar energy very much. On the contrary, some of the plans and programs following from it are unrealistic and counter-productive. The better way to go is realism and inspiring the best scientists and politicians to take up the vast amount of R&D work and societal restructuring that has still to be done. Energy has become so vital to mankind that solar energy as a substitute for conventional energy sources will be indispensable for maintaining peace.
