Abstract

We are facing in serious changes of global climate. Because of using too much energy by fossil fuel combustion, we are destroying our planet by ourselves. As you have noticed recent abnormal climate, the global warming is coming here we live day by day. For example, an arctic glacier is now melting rapidly which causes flood. At the same time, we hit a snowstorm in US. Regardless this situation, some countries are still struggling and scrambling for oil and gas. On the other hand, many cash-poor countries are distress for lack of energy.

It is high time that we change our recognition of energy resources in global aspect. We are here today to get together to discuss very important issue of renewable energy, which definitely lead us to the betterment of society for us and our next generations. There might be a lot of discussions for solutions from various points of views, however once it is set, we have to accelerate our actions and challenges without delay in order to save the earth. However, problems come one after another. Current obstacles are price increase of various raw materials due to oil and gas price hike, which is a negative impact for our goals. As for solar industry, markets are strongly moving with right policies and technologies. So this industry creates new markets as well as new job opportunities. Let’s have a strong hope and will that we will achieve our goals globally.
