New era: Energy is mainly wind and sun?

' Continuous research and development of alternative energy sources will quickly promote the emergence of a new era in Human History, in which two renewable sources of electricity, wind and solar power, will contribute. overwhelming in the energy sector '. One scientist who was awarded the Nobel Prize at the 240th Conference of the American Chemical Society said so.

Dr. Walter Kohn, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1998 and is working at the University of California, in Santa Barbara, noted that oil and natural gas, currently providing about 60% of the total Global energy and is predicted to be the highest proportion from now until 10-30 years later. After that, these two sources of fuel will reduce the rate quickly.

Nobel laureate Walter Kohn said: ' This trend has created two unprecedented global challenges. One is that it threatens the energy shortage on a worldwide scale. Second, it creates an unacceptable risk of global warming and its consequences . '

He pointed out that these challenges require finding many different solutions that he says: ' The best solution is to continue to apply scientific and technical advances to provide abundant alternative energy sources. , safe, clean and free of carbon. Because these challenges are global, scientific and technological work must mobilize maximum international cooperation and begin immediately . '

In the past decade, solar power production has increased by 90% and wind power has increased by 10%. Dr. Kohl hopes that these two endless sources of energy will continue to rise sharply in the next decade and beyond to bring humanity into a new era in history, in which solar and wind power take over. dominant position. Another important, equally significant issue that is of little interest is the need to reduce per capita electricity consumption in developed countries. He said:

" A very negative example is that the consumption of gasoline in the United States is five times higher than the world average " - he said - ' It is incomprehensible, underdeveloped countries have set a target to raise living standards. equal to those of highly developed countries that should have found ways to stabilize their rapidly growing population . '

Kohn noted that he was impressed with the fact that his students had contributed to a collective fund to equip solar panels with all the electricity for the gymnasium: ' When young people took the initiative It is a miracle to solve energy problems and global warming. It is a meaningful social commitment in our time . '
