Why energy markets and energy policy as well as government regulations are all driven by emotion / public mood.
The future of oil and gas sectors is about more than factors such as investment cycles, industry capacity, geopolitical risks and so on.
Yes all these matter for future energy prices and policy, but the role of emotion is not fully understood by many people and will be very important in driving change.
We need to look again at the passion which is driving debate on issues such as sustainability, carbon zero nations, net zero manufacturing, alternative energy, wind energy, solar power, nuclear power, carbon sequestration and so on.
