"There is little doubt that energy related issues are dominating much of the sustainable future discussion today. On one side of that equation a large number of people think that more awareness, education and discussion is the way forward. Alternatively, others consider legislation as a driver toward action and bringing about the changes that would create a sustainable energy future. Which is it?"

Energy in Africa Waiting to be Untapped Africa has a wealth of resources that has the potential to supply the entire continent’s needs – and beyond - according to Brian Statham, chairperson of The South African National Energy Association (SANEA), who will also be chairing the Energy INDABA 2010. However, he says, African businesses are yet to make the most of this potential.

“The impact of the financial crisis on investments and the demand-supply balance in the energy sector”
|
"It is clear that the current crisis has not only triggered a fall in “black gold” prices. What is more important is that it made them volatile and unpredictable, which is detrimental to various industries. The questions “How much should oil cost?” and “What will be the oil price in the foreseeable future?” are not rhetoric. The energy sector is the cornerstone of the world economy. Therefore, the question whether we will reach what many people call the “fair price” for oil will determine to a major extent 1) When and 2) How the economic crisis will be overcome."
OAO Gazprom Management Committee Chairman Alexey Miller - 12th Annual General Assembly of the European Business Congress, Porto Cervo, Italy

| Is phantom energy use haunting your house? |
"Today’s electronic devices suck power even when they’re turned off. From televisions, to DVD players, to computers, to chargers, they’re all drawing power from the outlet even when you’re not using them. Those little LED’s and stand-by modes draw trickles of energy called “phantom power” that can add up to 5 percent of household energy use and about $200 a year on average."

Green tech as an engine of economic growth
|
"We face bigger challenges than ever in the world today. There is no corner of the world which is not hit by the current economic and financial crisis. In the globally interconnected world, small and big economies are affected alike. The solutions for the recovery, however, vary from country to country. Finland has opted for active optimism: turmoil is bound to bring changes, and we are committed to taking advantage of them."
Finnish Prime Minister, Matti Vanhanen at the Boao Economic Forum - Hainan, 19 April 2009

"Our Recovery Act contains more than $80 billion for sustainable, innovative clean energy projects. We’re working to double renewable energy use in the next three years, and have a goal to cut more than 80% of greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury. We also plan to invest $150 billion over ten years in energy research and development."

| What impact can real-time sensors and systems have on facility energy use? |
"Increasingly large corporations are taking a strong look at their energy use, not just to be greener, but to drive down energy expenses. The rising cost of energy has created the incentive to look for greater efficiency. Harnessing real-time sensors in your facility or campus can provide dramatic cost savings that quickly repay this investment."

Renewable energy: developing a green energy market |
:"It is a great pleasure to join you today to discuss how to maximise our efforts to develop renewable energy just a few weeks away from the important climate change conference that will take place in Copenhagen.The recent financial crisis and consequent economic slowdown is forcing governments to prioritise even more than is usually the case. But I am strongly of the view that the crisis should be seen as an opportunity to accelerate the building of a cleaner, more secure energy future. By increasing our use of renewable energy, we help revitalise our economies. Renewable energy should be seen, therefore, as one of the answers to the current economic crisis."
Andris Piebalgs, EU Energy Commissioner, Speech at the EU-Mediterranean-Gulf Conference, Brussels, 9 October 2009

| How Does Satellite Imagery and Laser Technology Fit Into the Energy Picture? |
"Many people do not know that satellite imagery and laser technologies can play a major role in the development and operation of energy infrastructure. These technologies can capture large quantities of data suitable for constructing 3D models of plant infrastructure, monitoring vegetation and possible leakage as well as providing information suitable for topographic analysis - slopes and elevations of the landscape."

Stability, sustainability and solidarity – shared values and interests in times of crisis
|
A few weeks ago, the Empire State Building was lit up in orange, the national colour of the Netherlands. The reason was that precisely 400 years ago, the Dutch East India Company commissioned Henry Hudson to find a shorter sea route to Asia via the north. After a brutal voyage, filled with hardships, Hudson decided to change course. He never found his shortcut to Asia, but he did become the first person to map the area around the river that would one day bear his name. Including the place where we are gathered today. Ever since, the origin of the great city of New York has been closely linked with the courage and resolve of Henry Hudson.
