Decarbonisation (low carbon sources
of energy) and
Decentralisation (more local energy

"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."
