EART1951 'A
vision of reconciliation between humanity and the planet.' Ross Gelbspan, Pulitzer Journalist and author, The Heat Is On
and Boiling Point 'Sajed Kamal
reminds us what we intuitively know - that we must make the transition toward
renewable energy as soon as is humanly possible, that continuing to rely on
fossil fuel poisons our world with every hour that passes. Even more
powerfully, though, he reminds us how possible that transition is. Equally
competent with a spreadsheet and a bank of batteries, Kamal
is the navigator we need to sail with confidence into this new century.' Bill McKibben, Author of The End of Nature, The Age of Missing
Information and Fight Global Warming Now 'Sajed Kamal's book is an immensely important contribution to our
understanding of what is happening to our planet and what we can do about it.
He combines the careful research of the scientist with the passionate
imagination of the poet. I hope The Renewable Revolution will be widely read.'
Howard Zinn, Author of A
People's History of the United States and You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving
Train 'Dr Kamal lives and writes a vision. It is a
vision of reconciliation between humanity and the planet - a reconciliation
that is accomplished through the medium of energy - natural energy, spiritual
energy, clean energy. In plumbing the implications of
solar technology for our survival, Dr Kamal has
identified the transcendent nature of that technology. Solar energy, he
reveals, is far more than a simple source of electricity and warmth. It
provides an elemental bridge between a history which has been based on
depletion and exploitation and a future which, if it is to exist at all, must
be based on balance, renewal and a most practical harmony with our species'
home.' Ross Gelbspan, Pulitzer Journalist and author,
The Heat Is On and Boiling Point 'The great value in
this book is the picture it conveys of renewable energy today: the long sought
transition is no longer a hope for the future, it is already underway. This is
a fine survey of the many applications of solar technologies.' Howard Ris, President, Union of Concerned Scientists (1981-2003)
'An important tale that has to be told and Dr Kamal
tells it with the passion and precision that's needed. But, The Renewable
Revolution is more than message-solutions are offered and it's our job to
follow the solar course so elegantly set for us.' Jane Weissman,
Executive Director, Interstate Renewable Energy Council 'An excellent treatise
on the practical use of renewable energy. Sajed Kamal has not only pleaded for the worldwide use of
renewable energy, but also proven its practical utility in supplying energy to
promote sustainable development of communities. He has proven with
illustrations, many from his own experiences, that harnessing renewable energy
is not only environmentally sound, but also economically viable and socially
acceptable.' Kazi F. Jalal,
PhD, Harvard University Extension School Environmental Studies Program and
co-author of Introduction to Sustainable Development 'In the face of the
growing reality of climate change and its devastating worldwide consequences we
need solutions. An urgent transition to the renewable energy path is
fundamental in that solutions mix. The Renewable Revolution, an exceptional
combination of scholarship, personal experience and inspiring examples, charts
the path. This comprehensive and highly readable book is both an indispensible
educational resource and a tool for action.' Saleemul
Huq, PhD, Director, Climate Change Programme, International Institute of Environment and
Development (IIED) and lead Author, IPCC Report, recipient of the Nobel Prize
for Peace, 2008 'Dr Sajed Kamal
proves once again that he is a most thoughtful and knowledgeable advocate of sustainable
solar energy and its critical potential contribution for our future. The
Renewable Revolution needs to be read by decision-makers at the World Bank, the
UNDP, as well as the smallest community-based organizations if the costly
mistakes of current policies are not to continue to pollute and impoverish us,
threatening our sustainability.' Prof. Laurence R. Simon, Professor and
Director, Program in Sustainable International Development, Brandeis
University, Massachusetts, USA and former advisor, the World Bank and the UNDP
'At this time of darkness when most people have given in to despair, apathy and
powerlessness, Sajed Kamal's
book is a true beacon of light. It is hopeful, inspiring and practical. It
shows the way to the resolution of the global energy crisis as well as the
deeper moral crisis in which the so-called environmental crisis is embedded. A powerful and compassionate work.' Asoka Bandarage, PhD, Author, Women, Population, and Global
Crisis: A Political Economic Analysis and Visiting Professor, Elliot School of
International Affairs, Georgetown University 'Clear, insightful and compelling.
The Renewable Revolution provides us with inspiring examples and information to
understand how renewable energy is succeeding, together with the moral vision
to realize that we must.' Bruce Allen, Professor, Department
of English Language and Literature, Seisen
University, Tokyo, Japan. 'All life is one-interconnected and
interdependent with the rest of Nature. We can survive only if this right
understanding is acquired and cultivated. Sajed Kamal conveys this message where knowledge, wisdom,
intuition, experience and vision are all combined with a clear agenda for the
novice as well as the expert. This one book contains everything that one may
seek in one hundred books.' Dr A. T. Ariyaratne,
President, Sarvodaya Shramadana Sangamaya, Sri Lanka
'The Renewable Revolution is not just another book on alternative energies: the
author is a scientist and a poet as well. He not only started 'solar
revolution' projects in different parts of the world, he also lives what he
preaches. He brings 'Head and heart and hands together,' as the Swiss pioneer
in education, Heinrich Pestalozzi, suggested. All this shines through in this
very well written and richly illustrated book and makes it an outstanding tool
in this crucial time of change.' Martin Vosseler,
M.D. Founder of PSR/IPPNW Switzerland, co-founder of the Swiss Physicians for
the Environment and of 'sun21' 'By suggesting alternatives to the readers'
habitual actions, The Renewable Revolution could evoke positive actions.'
Lauren Landry, Feenway News, April 2010. 'He aims to
make the reader fully aware of all that they have to offer in the wide variety
of forms and localities in which they are increasingly employed' Bryan Walker Our environment
and society is threatened by fuel shortages, a changing climate and energy
wars. In our race for survival we are awakened to the simple truth that the
essential condition of sustainability lies in our ability to live within the
limits and renewability of natural resources. It invokes within us an urgent
need for transition from an obsolete, destructive and unsustainable energy path
to a sustainable path of innovation, renewable energy and peace. The good news
is that the technology required to make this transition is already available.
From an author with over 30 years' experience campaigning for and setting up
renewable energy projects around the world, this book is unique for its
interdisciplinary approach-interweaving technology,
economics, environmental science, philosophy, history, spirituality and
politics, asserting that to understand the crisis and find a sustainable
solution requires a holistic perspective. Readers will understand the vast
renewable resource we have at our disposal in the form of solar, wind, water,
heat and biogas, and the technologies used to harness this power. There are
also the emerging prospects of solar hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels and
geothermal. The true economic advantages of a shift to a renewables-based
economy (and how we can get there) are also laid out clearly. There's much to
learn from examples around the world while we devise local and appropriate
solutions. Written for a crossover readership of students, educators,
professionals, academics, activists and policymakers, both nationally and
internationally, this is a comprehensive but readable and practical book that
will inspire readers to wake others up to our renewable solutions.
