I owe a great debt of gratitude to the students and colleagues who have contributed to my research in solar hot water and who have made working in the solar energy field such a personal pleasure.  . . .

Page 6 6 In summary, the potential for reducing consumption of electricity and gas and the consequent emission of greenhouse gases justifies a far greater investment in low temperature solar thermal systems. These technologies are suitable for a number of applications, among which hot water is the most likely candidate for near term deployment on a substantial scale. We should not simply wait until the cost of fossil fuels is so high that the current technology is less expensive . . .
