Talkback Submission Call: Energy – Powering Sustainable Futures
by David Connor
The latest call for Talkback article submissions wants to get to the very core of the sustainability challenge - energy.
Worldwide energy consumption is tipped to grow by around 50% by only 2040 with most demand coming from non-OECD countries.
Increasing volatility in oil markets, pressure for divestment across coal based portfolios, unpredictable leadership in gas controlling countries, rising populations consuming more, and emerging scalable technologies are just a few pressures converging to create a clouded uncertain power future. Energy has become the fuel within a hair trigger financial, political and environmental powder keg, surrounded by the wildest extremes of risk and opportunity.
