Abstract: There is more or less consensus around the problems related to the existing energy systems. Most focus has been on the negative environmental effects of using fossil fuels. Many papers and reports conclude that renewable energy has the potential to run the world and the technology needed to do so is available. An important question is: why such a big potential is only marginally utilized?
