Namibia: Country urged to take lead in solar energy usage

Namibia has the best solar reserves in the world and the country should become an international leader in the field of solar and wind energy use, an academic has said. Speaking in Windhoek at the launch of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Institute (REEEI), Polytechnic Rector Dr Tjama Tjivikua said fossil fuels like oil and coal would soon be exhausted and conflicts caused oil prices to rise. The use of cleaner fuel sources would lead to a less polluted world and better efficiency.
