Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/374828/investing_in_renew) has
announced the addition of the "Investing in Renewable Technologies: Wind, Solar,
Geotherm, Hydro, Biomass" report to their offering.

Eventually renewable energies will dominate the world's energy supply system.
There is no real alternative. Mankind cannot indefinitely continue to base its
life on the consumption of finite energy resources.

Today, the world's energy supply is largely based on fossil fuels and nuclear
power. These sources of energy will not last forever and have proven to be
contributors to our environmental problems. The environmental impacts of energy
use are not new but they are increasingly well known; they range from
deforestation to local and global pollution. In less than three centuries since
the industrial revolution, mankind has already burned roughly half of the fossil
fuels that accumulated under the earth's surface over hundreds of millions of
years. Nuclear power is also based on a limited resource (uranium) and the use
of nuclear power creates such incalculable risks that nuclear power plants
cannot be insured.
