Abstract
Following the Al Gore-movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ about the dangers of climate change, the last couple of months saw some very important reports, pushing the case for renewable energy to an ever increasing policy level. Denouncing the business-as-usual scenario for the energy supply until 2030, the International Energy Agency nowadays advocates energy efficiency, nuclear and renewable energies in alternative policies. Meanwhile, Nicholas Stern, former World Bank chief economist and advisor to the UK government, analysed that the costs for a low carbon economy would be very much less than the damage of climate change. Rolf de Vos of GreenPrices screens the trend of VIP advocates for green energies. Will governments take over the leadership role?
