EVENT DETAILS
“Energy and Society: Future Shock”
Richard Norris, Pandreco Energy Advisory
Urgency, Fear and Blame are used to vilify hydrocarbons and a utopian “Greener, Cleaner and Cheaper” future is promised. If this is indeed possible then there is no logical room for discussion. However, if the Greener and Cleaner future will be more expensive, then society has to face many hard choices.
Access to cheap energy has underpinned huge advances in human development, albeit at a considerable and for some, existential, cost. A future with more expensive energy may be very different than today’s promised vision.
Richard will share his thoughts and lead the debate.
Note: given some of the sensitive nature of the presentation our speaker elected not to share his slides.
