Put simply, the question people have to answer is this: "Do you want it cheap - or do you want it clean?" July has proved a fertile month for organisations promoting renewable energy issues. There is now a body with worldwide reach called the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) - made up of experts from 129 nations - which has agreed to establish a headquarters in Abu Dhabi from where it will advise on renewable energy. Media reports have suggested that Australia and Japan added their names to the document establishing IRENA just hours before its inaugural conference in Sharm al-Sheik on June 29th - so, clearly, this is viewed as an important development. IRENA’s aim is to offer advice to world governments on technical and financial issues linked to renewable energy and promote and encourage the introduction of this kind of technology across developing countries.
