Walt Patterson On Energy

If you're visiting us for the first time, Home is a good place to start. Title and Welcome will bring you back here.

My current project for Chatham House and the Sussex Energy Group, is 'Managing Energy: Rethinking The Fundamentals'. After a series of Working Papers challenging the conventional view of energy in society, and proposing a more promising vision, the project is now evolving into a book entitled Rethinking Energy.

The 30th anniversary issue of Modern Power Systems, January 2011, included my article entitled Electricity To The Rescue, and the newsletter New Power, February 2011, my article entitled Even Newer Power. On 13 April, at the Chernobyl 25th anniversary conference in Barcelona, I advocated 'Changing The Way The World Works'. On 6 May, at a historical symposium in Oxford on 'Nuclear Power - Past, Present, Future?', I recounted 'Nuclear Reactions'. On 10 June, at the Equinox Summit in Waterloo, Ontario, I described the 'Electric Future'. On 4 November, at the Conference on the Assessment of Future Energy Systems in Calgary, Alberta, I discussed 'Making Electricity Sustainable'. You can now see a video of the presentation here.

My latest book, Keeping The Lights On: Towards Sustainable Electricity, is now available in paperback.
