| Summary: | <p align="LEFT">If the whole world, which Egypt is a part of, continues business as usual in the field of electricity</p><p align="LEFT">generation, namely, using the same regimes adopts today, burning fossil fuels and Uranium fission,</p><p align="LEFT">both fuels will run out within sixty years at most and the world will definitely return to the Stone Age.</p><p align="LEFT"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;">Shall this be the end of the Egyptian people … the history </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">makers?</span></span></p><p align="LEFT">Generating energy is the next necessity to human life after water and food, since it is the major</p><p align="LEFT">stimulus of development. However, what is the aim of development if it is only momentary; then</p><p align="LEFT">followed by an endless abyss?</p><p align="LEFT">Shall we wait till fossil and nuclear fuels run out? Jostling over the remaining fuel will certainly be</p><p align="LEFT">fierce and we will pay a high price for it, a matter that will subsequently lead to demolishing the</p><p align="LEFT">ingredients of development.</p><p align="LEFT">Considering that oil is now dominating our way of life, it shall be wise to start immediately planning for</p><p align="LEFT">the post-oil age, provided that it is a sustainable plan set up to continue its validity as long as humans</p><p align="LEFT">live on this planet; this cannot be achieved except if we shift to renewable energies.</p><p align="LEFT">Looking at Egypt and its available renewable energy sources, it becomes evident that the solar</p><p align="LEFT">energy, particularly in Upper Egypt, can give more than the present and future needs of the Egyptian</p><p>society and even cover the demand of the whole world for electricity.</p> |
