After a short description of the different sources and possible uses of renewable resources, the increasing importance of renewable resources in research and development work is placed in a historical context. Subsequently, the motivation and political objectives of promoting the supply and use of renewable resources are discussed, including the possible risks of this use. Results concerning power production costs, CO2 mitigation costs, and employment effects are presented. Based on the results in the different dimensions, the difficulties of an overall assessment are described in detail. The article closes with an outlook on further developments presenting aspects relevant to research and promotions strategies.

GAIA is a peer-reviewed inter- and transdisciplinary journal for scientists and other interested parties concerned with the causes and analyses of environmental and sustainability problems and their solutions.
Environmental problems cannot be solved by one academic discipline. The complex natures of these problems require cooperation across disciplinary boundaries. Since 1991, GAIA has offered a well-balanced and practice-oriented forum for transdisciplinary research. GAIA offers first-hand information on state of the art environmental research and on current solutions to environmental problems. Well-known editors, advisors, and authors work to ensure the high quality of the contributions found in GAIA and a unique transdisciplinary dialogue – in a comprehensible style.
GAIA is an ISI-journal, listed in the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index and in Current Contents/Social and Behavioral Sciences.
All contributions undergo a double-blind peer review.- Editorial Board
