In recent years, for a number of reasons, governments have been increasing their efforts considerably to promote the production and use of energy derived from renewable sources. Concerns have been raised, for example, over the dependence on fossil fuels, the utilisation of which has considerable climate and environmental impacts. Moreover, in the case of oil, this creates an economic dependency of the vast majority of countries globally which lack oil resources upon the limited number of countries which have those resources, with many of whom political relations, and thus trade, are seen to be unstable and unreliable. There is also a widely held economic concern with oil that we are seeing the depletion of finite reserves, with consequences also for the price of oil.1
