The Solar Energy Society 2009 David Hall Memorial Lecture
DOWN WITH FUEL !
Speaker: Dr Walt Patterson
Despite what you hear from every side, we don't need to use less energy. We need
to use less fuel. Traditional 'energy policy' fosters ways to use more fuel.
Real energy policy will foster ways to use less. Once we get that right, the
renewable fuel - biomass - will come into its own, as an essential component of
sustainable human energy systems.
Walt Patterson is Associate Fellow in the Energy,
Environment and Development Programme at Chatham House in London, UK, and a
Visiting Fellow at the University of Sussex. He is author of Keeping The Lights
On: Towards Sustainable Electricity (Chatham House/Earthscan 2007), his
thirteenth book, and hundreds of other publications, on nuclear power, coal
technology, renewable energy, energy systems, energy policy and electricity. His
current project for CH and the Sussex Energy Group is called 'Managing Energy:
for climate and security'. Walt Patterson On Energy, <www.waltpatterson.org>,
is an online archive of his writing since 1970.
