(http://www.csem.ch/corporate/Report2007/strategy2007.htm)Energy had been the solution for the great depression, will energy again help us to overcome the current financial problems? Why not? Prices of solar energy had dropped with a factor ten since the last oil crisis in the 1970-ies, we have been able to optimize the absorption of solar energy by using nano-coatings on solar panels that need a very small surface to collect sufficiently to provide the entire world. And if collecting solar energy in space will be affordable in due time oil and nuclear power will be history forever.
We need mental energy to generate and establish creative thinking in a modern society. Energy-lobbies soon will find competition from individuals that will invest in solar or wind energy in the surroundings of their houses. In difficult economic times people have always been surching for new business possibilities, the interesting aspect in modern times is that we can think big and small!
