Has the world wars among others prevented the advancement of solar energy technologies?

Posted on April 9, 2010 by admin

If you know of any books or articles on this specific topic could you let me know. Thanks!

Though I’m just passing through and am merely going to comment, the World Wars actually helped speed up and expand technological innovation. I mean the reason why Einstein and many other scientists were busily trying to build a nuclear bomb was because they wanted to get it done before the Germans did. Advancements in aircraft, sensors and everything similar was to put one group above another group.

    Absolutely not. Peace has hindered advancement of solar technology. A proper war sends oil prices higher, thus spurring solar research. Interest in solar power has soared since Bush attacked Iraq, haven’t you noticed?
