Introductory Remarks
Pierre Gadonneix, Chairman, World Energy Council
The Technology Battle
Though territory continues to open up for remote oil exploration and
many hope for natural gas to replace coal and nudge out renewables,
achieving a balanced energy solution necessitates innovative
technologies across all sectors. Advances in traditional energy sources
come at precisely the moment when the price of oil, gas and coal
needs to reflect not just the marginal cost of production but
hydrocarbons’ wider impact on the environment. This debate will
investigate cutting edge technologies that bring both sound economics
and environmental responsibilities to face one another.
Specifically, we’ll examine:
• Tomorrow’s power: fossil fuels, nuclear and renewables
• Scalability to meet growing global demand: can renewables
compete with coal, gas and nuclear?

10:15 – 10:30 Networking Break
10:30 – 11:30 Global Face-Off: Governments Lock Horns with Industry
Fledgling governments in the middle east reach for better footing;
instability and uncertainty prevail in Syria; and, long-range energy plans
in Russia and the United States get back-burnered to election-year
partisan posturing. Should government heed industry’s call for the
perceived natural gas panacea, or lead us toward the proverbial “all of
the above” energy plan? Whether restraining natural market growth,
subsidizing sectors or promoting ostensible favorites, governments face
an industry inflamed. We’ll address:
• Insatiable demands: where would the industry take us? Can the
economy recover under government’s control?
• Should companies comply knowing governments often
change course?
• The global impact of an undeniable path for emerging markets
