Energy, along with water, is one of the core platforms of a modern society. Our electricity, transport and personal mobile electronic devices all need reliable energy supply. Erica will discuss the pros and cons of our energy options with a heavy bias on what choices might be needed in Broome over the next 20 years. Her main focus will be on what decisions might be needed in rapidly changing technologies of electricity generation and storage and what individuals can do, but she will also look at what is coming in the transport space. Erica will be open to a lively question and answer session.
