concerns about a warming climate<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 is arguably the world\u2019s greatest challenge. Finding solutions will be difficult, and it won\u2019t happen unless we consider both the needs and concerns of the energy-intensive developed world and those of developing nations where the majority of population growth will occur.<\/p>\nSustainable energy will require three components: Access and reliable supply; affordability and cost effectiveness in a competitive marketplace; and environmentally responsible production, transportation and consumption of energy. In the US and other developed countries, we too often take the first two as a given and focus exclusively on the impact to air, land, water and communities as the keys to sustainable energy.<\/p>\n
Much of the rest of the world is not as fortunate, a fact we must incorporate into any solutions for long-term sustainability.\u00a0How do we get there? Policies, laws, business mechanisms and regulations can drive behavior and shape the operating landscape, but another key enabler cannot be ignored.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The chicken or the egg? The cart or the horse?\u00a0Should policy or technology take the lead?\u00a0 It is not a reasonable question when it comes to deciding where the keys to a sustainable energy future lay \u2013 we need both.

growing energy needs of the rest of the world.\u00a0About 1.3 billion people globally live in\u00a0energy poverty<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 that is, they lack access to sufficient energy for basic needs and are forced to rely on the most primitive forms of energy such as wood burning and waste, as well as expending an excessive amount of time collecting these fuels. Another 2 billion or more people will be added to the world\u2019s population in the next 50 years, many of them in the developing world, compounding the difficulty of providing sufficient energy to meet their needs.<\/p>\n
