Ownership of fossil resources (oil, gas, coal) has long provided virtually unlimited economic and political power, which appoints and removes presidents, buys politicians, and wages wars. But today we are witnessing that the world is beginning to change. The use of renewable energy sources in many countries is gradually coming to the fore. Vladimir Sidorovich explains what renewable sources are, how they work, why many global energy companies are now relying on them, and which countries are actively developing their production. The author of the book proves with facts and figures that power based on the possession of fossil resources is becoming a thing of the past. How many years are allowed for oil, gas and coal? How will the world change in 20 years? What does Russia need to do in order not to be left with a “broken trough” (more precisely, with an empty pipe)?
