Abdul Jabbar Khan commented on Energy at the crossroads Society plays a very substantial and indispensible role in shaping the future of Energy. No matter how sustaniable the energy sector is directed to by governments, NGO or business models, it is the society and its activities which decide the success of the sustainable ideas. A major aspect of conceptulizing a Energy sustainable future is [...]

Agathe Pellas commented on Energy at the crossroads “The French energy mix has radically changed since the 1970’s and is probably very different from what it will be in 2050. Resource depletion (coal, oil,etc),the development of technologies make us constantly rethink our energy mix and even the way in which we use it . As we are an interface between the scientists and [...]

Stanislav Shmelev commented on Energy at the crossroads A sustainable energy future is certainly a multidimensional problem that involves a collective efforts of a whole range of stakeholders: communities, business, NGOs, government, academia. The modelling experiments focused on the UK energy system show that there are multiple ways in which total CO2 emissions from the energy system could be reduced by 80%: among [...]

Jay Brakensiek commented on Energy at the crossroads The concepts of “sustainability” and “stewardship” should be synonymous. The stewardship concept of “the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care” is the basis for this concept. In planning and delivering energy in support of this goal, the role of “steward” in society is critical. Stewardship in the energy area does not [...]

Editor wrote a new post: EU Emissions Trading Scheme: Fit for purpose? The EU’s emissions trading scheme (ETS), which was launched in 2005, is central to the European Union’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It provides a marketplace for buying and selling emissions trading rights. By setting a price for CO2 emissions, the scheme is intended to establish the most cost-effective way of lowering emissions and [...]

Jamidu Katima commented on Energy at the crossroads 1.0 INTRODUCTION In the context of this paper a “sustainable energy future” is defined by adapting the definition of sustainable development: “Energy that meets the present generation’s needs without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own energy needs”. In order to be able to answer the question we should ask ourselves [...]

Hafez Abdo commented on Energy at the crossroads Energy Security is the hot concern of countries and societies, this is due to the fact of Peak Oil exploration and production. Sustaining Energy Future is the painful worry of governments, but it is the responsibility of governments, societies and individuals. Since renewable options are still more expensive than non-renewables, and these latter are of [...]

Vasileios Bizios commented on Energy at the crossroads Climate change: «an irreversible damage or not? » It is unfortunate that anything produced today, causes irreparable damage to the atmosphere due to the GHG and other gas emissions. The devastating consequence of this situation should make climate change irreversible and result in losing the last hope for combating this phenomenon. If we don't change [...]

Joan MacNaughton commented on Energy at the crossroads It depends what you mean by society. If by society we mean all of us, then we are it. If society as a whole does not accept the need for these actions to take place and buy into the changes that are going to have to happen, then they won’t happen. And there are only [...]

Robin Bew commented on Energy at the crossroads What role does society have to play in delivering a sustainable energy future? Based on today’s debate, and if by society you mean individuals and companies, the answer is a LOT. Both individuals and companies are going to be a BIG part of the solution, but they will not, on their own, change their behaviour [...]

If you answered natural gas, have a cigar. Natural gas for the simple reason that it is one of the quickest ways to achieve a future in whic h an oil importing nation [...]

William Ross Williams commented on Energy at the crossroads The Lead Role!! The problem, Nobody has had a reason to show them how.. After 40 year around the energy and 25 years in it, I am completely amazed at how effectively we've either obscured, how the system works or spent billions on advertising dollars convincing the consumer that our silver bullet is the best.

Robin Mills commented on Energy at the crossroads Society needs to be informed about energy; to create a primarily free-market framework in which energy companies can deliver on the triple axes of profit, people and planet; to challenge the energy industry, not allowing its work to be too comfortable, but equally allowing development and recognising that there are few easy choices. Climate change [...]
