Reliable and affordable energy is essential. Without it, many dire consequences will arise. Unreliable and unaffordable energy poses serious health risks – particularly for the elderly, increases the costs of food, disrupts business activity harming economic growth, and makes it more difficult for children to study.
Maintaining an efficient energy infrastructure requires continuous maintenance and constant innovation. It is also essential that there are sufficient investment revenues to ensure that energy demands can be met.
A focus on forecasted demand growth is essential. It is simply not good enough for the system to benchmark energy capacity to meet current energy demands when 21st century industries – whether it is the exciting potential of artificial intelligence or running the large data centers and high-tech manufacturing that will drive prosperity – will likely require a lot more energy.
