Speakers at a seminar yesterday stressed the need for using solar energy to meet the demand for fuel without causing any adverse effect to the environment. The energy obtained from sunlight in one hour can meet the fuel demand all over the world for a year, said Sajed Kamal, professor at Brandies University, USA. Solar energy is both feasible and environment friendly, he added. The seminar, on solar energy, was organised by Bangladesh Paribesh Andolon (Bapa), at Dhaka University Senate Building.
