The Future of the Renewable Energy in Oman: Case Study of Salalah City

<p>The world-wide energy demand is continuously increasing compounded with global warming. There is an ever-increasing demand in energy accompanied with depletion of fuel stocks, particularly the fossil fuels. The current energy consumption rates are unsustainable and thus have prompted for...
