2008 Swan Memorial Lecture

2008 Swan Annual Memorial Lecture

Mr Philip Wolfe (Chief Executive of the Renewable Energy Association), 'Renewable Energy - Headline or Sideline?', Tuesday 14 October 2008.

RENEWABLE ENERGY - HEADLINE OR SIDELINE?

Renewable Energy is ....

The saviour of the planet from self-destruction, or An expensive, overhyped piece of greenwash, which can make only a tiny contribution

... depending on which newspaper you read, or which minister you listen to.

In the first Joseph Swan Memorial Lecture, Philip Wolfe will make an authoritative, if unashamedly subjective, evaluation of the case for renewable energy. He will review the global and national drivers currently impacting on the sector and identify some of the hot-spots for explosive growth over the new few decades.
