Energy is a critical resource for any sucessful future. How secure are future supplies? What is the place of renewable energy? What are the costs of energy likely to be? What are the international and national trends, and what are the flow on effects for transport and sustainable cities? What plans and policies should New Zealand be considering? How do you ensure governments and indeed political parties do what is required to protect climate and build on the principles of a sustainable habitat?
These are some of the questions to be considered in this important discussion led by our speakers.
