Abstract

Ever since the Fossil Fuel revolution continuous efforts have been made to find and control energy resources. The energy sector has a chequered and murky history - it has been often been blamed as a cause of conflict, corruption and pollution. Current and future issues – changing demographics, shifting power, mismatch, market distortions and the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

But first a quick look at the background of the energy sector with a few examples. Then a look at the current situation. Then thoughts on the future!
