@JohnBarrett tells us:
Four future pathways modelled for the #UK on #energy #demand: ignore, steer, shift or transform demand. Current government policy is best described as 'ignore'.
Only a radical reduction in energy demand through transformation offers the greatest drop - over 50% in most sectors, with various co-benefits. The ease of transition is significantly easier with reducing demand.
It's more than a #technological shift. We need to move away from the #supply bias. We need to move away from conventional linear economic approaches. No silver bullet.
