Physics looks at solar energy
TL;DR: The idea of using the sun as a source of energy has had a long history, but so far it has been a history of bright hope and dismal failure as discussed by the authors, but the early 1950's newspaper headlines were full of glowing predictions of what solar energy could do for mankind; the first International Conference on Applied Solar Energy had been held, and solar energy seemed ready to take its place, along with peaceful uses of atomic energy and with interplanetary exploration, on Vannevar Bush's "endless frontier of science".

Hydrogen production from solar energy
M.M. Eisenstadt,K.E. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three alternatives for hydrogen production from solar energy have been analyzed on both efficiency and economic grounds, and the analysis showed that the alternative using solar energy followed by thermochemical decomposition of water to produce hydrogen is the optimum one.

Energy choices that europe faces: a European view of energy.
TL;DR: It is felt that the energy challenge, tough as it is, does not pose unsurmountable technological problems, even in Europe, and in principle at least there is more than one option to provide almost unlimited amounts of energy.
