Climate Change Panel: Renewables Will Be the Answer to Global Energy Needs

DOHA, Qatar – The world's top scientific body concluded that renewable energy in the coming decades will be widespread and could one day represent the dominant source for powering factories and lighting homes, according to a draft report obtained by The Associated Press Thursday.

But the report also warned that such expansion will be costly and policy changes will have to be enacted to ensure that renewable energy can achieve its potential in helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The link above did not include photographs or video of the panel. Fortunately, a reader was able to find a video of the opening statement from the four-day conference in Dubai.

During the Q&A, a question was asked whether the panel members, when it came to renewable energy, "believed in magic?" The panel said they each brought their new energy to the group.
