Abstract: Abstract There is an increasing realisation that unless ‘greenhouse gas’ emissions are reduced, global warming may result in dire consequences for our future generations. Sustainable development in the form of renewable energy offers a way forward for the production of natural, clean electricity. Such sources include energy from the sun, wind, oceans, waste, the Earth, and the fall of water. The European Commission (EC) and individual countries of the European Union (EU) have programmes which aim to stimulate the development of renewable energy technologies to the fullest practical extent, where they have prospects of being economically attractive and environmentally acceptable.
