Abstract

The question of renewable energy is first re-defined in the appropriate physical context. The question of primary energies use and substitution is re-defined in the appropriate socio-economic (cultural) context. The conclusion is that for the next future (50 years), the most likely use of renewable energies is in special niches, where they can provide unique services and are not in an all-out conquest of the global energy market.
