Renewables: The Solution to Energy Security and Rising Prices

Energy systems are interconnected and affect one another in complex ways. With the current crisis, the next several decades could see more periods of energy-driven inflation, shortages, and loss of economic growth, not to mention severe socio-political implications. 

Several of the current discussions and political discourses refer to alternate ways of securing fossil-energy or reducing energy demand. Renewables is the solution for a secure and affordable energy economy.

This upcoming RENdez-Vous will look at the following questions:

• Why are renewables not more prominent in the energy security arena now that it “makes economic sense”? 
• Where are the renewables voices that push these messages? 
• What arguments do we need to present to build this renewables-based solution? 
• What needs to happen to help balance security, affordability and sustainability while meeting international climate goals?
