Martin Green, the Australian scientist and winner of the “Alternative Nobel Prize,” has predicted solar energy will meet a quarter of human’s kind’s energy demand by 2050, wrote China View<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Green argues that ‘energy transition’ is the best solution to offset the damage caused by fossil fuel and that the number of coal-fired power plants could be cut by 15 percent around the world with the application of solar heating.<\/p>\n

The article came out of a meeting held in Beijing between nine Nobel laureates and five world-renowned scientists, including Robert Mundell, Edmund Phelps, Richard Schrock and Thomas Schelling. The event closed today and was used as a forum to discuss “energy efficiency, solar energy and its market development, global warming and the reduction in greenhouse gases” with 600 Chinese scientists, officials and experts.<\/p>\n
