Energy Transition Will Upend Geopolitics
We face a choice: pushing renewables to the brim and face rapid economic deterioration or chose more sensible policies now. As the protests in Paris have shown, there is a limit to the patience of the electorate and there will be much more of that. Renewables are part of the picture, but they cannot define the game if we want to keep on living in relative prosperity. And most people want that.
The rapid adoption of renewable energy will “redraw the geopolitical map of the 21st century,” according to a new report that surveys the geopolitical implications of the clean energy transition.
