Open global trade, supported by a well-functioning “quality infrastructure”, has been an important factor in the rapid deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies around the world. Keeping markets open is critically important to ensure that all countries can benefit from solar PV, a...

Due to global warming and the salinity of drinkable natural resources, water scarcity has become a significant impediment to the development of many regions of the world, prompting the development of novel desalination techniques for brackish and seawater. The only way to satisfy society's...

An innovative analysis that shows how the shift to solar energy--in particular, the use of photovoltaic cells--is both economically advantageous and inevitable, and will rival the information and communication technologies revolution in its transformative effects.
