effects, prominent among which is the emission of CO2. Carbon dioxide significantly contributes to global warming and, consequently, causes climate change. This has called for international policies like the Kyoto protocol and Copenhagen summit that set limit on greenhouse gases (GHG) emission [1]. Renewable energy sources are carbon neutral and can present a favourable condition by reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, they are not yet in abundant supply to meet man’s demand.…

This is simply how the human mind works. On account of this, causal relationships can also be observed in every branch of science. For instance, medical specialists search causes of the diseases. Similarly, physicists observe causes of the effects on the nature. This is a reason why even the simplest laws of physics have causal…
