The ICA Economist Debate: The New Geopolitics of Oil
T0
Fossil and mineral resources are not only finite, they also fuel wars. But is this just realpolitik? If there is going to be an alternative - whether renewable energy or the much-trumpeted hydrogen fuel cells - when is it actually going to happen? What are the real costs - local and global - of our dependence on carbon? Is Britain stuck in the Oil Age - or is it ready to capitalise on the coming clean energy revolution? Speakers: Jay Bhutani, global energy analyst, Credit Suisse Asset Management; John Mogford, Group Vice President for Renewables at BP; Michael Grubb, Associated Director of Policy at The Carbon Trust, which aims to help business and the public sector to reduce carbon emissions; and Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Global Environment and Energy correspondent at The Economist. Chair: Pallab Ghosh, Science Correspondent BBC News.
