What is sustainable development? Is it possible in today's world of rapid development and huge energy demand?
How can we protect our environment and still develop? Can solar energy replace existing power plants, or is it only environment or development?
The way you ask the question leads me to believe that you already have a clue what sustainable development is. To answer your first question, yes, I believe it is. There are a number of 'off the shelf' solutions out there, and a lot of new ground to be broken in adjusting the way we do business and delving into some of the new technologies that exist.
In answer to your solar question, I believe the successful energy palette will be a colorful mix of options. We'll be weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels, and through conservation, solar, wind, geothermal, etc. etc. we can make up the balance handily. I believe India and China will by necessity pay attention to what's being accomplished and will emulate and eventually even surpass outside efforts. China's poor air quality is now world reknowned, and with all the new coal-powered plants it will get worse, but they're a world power and want to increase and solidify their position in the world, so they'll come around. I hope so, anyway, for all our sakes.
I'd like to share a few of the sites I've found in my online travels that might give you encouragement. If you want more, just email me and I'll share the whole list.
