Gree Energy: An Important Handbook on Renewable Energy (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783986086855)

It is already clear that economics, not science or technology, will determine the direction of sustainable energy in the future.

Finance offers a behind-the-scenes look at renewable energy transactions and a window into how nations like the US, India, and China are tackling the world's energy crisis. Renewable Energy Finance provides readers with insightful, useful thoughts on the future of renewable energy investment by bringing together contributions from top academics and executives.
