Energy consumption matters both to our environment and our economy.

Today, we're very dependent on cheap energy. We just take it for granted - all the things you have in the house, the way industry works.

The consumption and production of energy is a major component of the global economy.

As the economy grows, so will the demand for energy.

Everyone is always in favour of general economy and particular expenditure.

Energy powers our economy, both literally and figuratively.

We can, and must, shift to an economy in which 100% of our electricity is generated renewably.

Today's energy mix is the result of yesterday's consumer habits, considerable investment, and various political decisions. The potential of renewable energies, now a well-established fact, is undeniable if given the time to arrive at the technical and economic maturity that will free them from subsidization policies.

The shift to a cleaner energy economy wont happen overnight, and it will require tough choices along the way. But the debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.
