Despite many reports that suggest otherwise the main challenge does not seem to be of a technical nature: with proven technologies it is possible to design an energy system that produces only a fraction of the emissions (CO2 as well as pollutants) of the current system (IPPC, 2001). Rather than a lack of good technical solutions t...
