"Regardless
of which route we
choose, the world's
current predicament
limits our maneuvering
room. We are
experiencing a
step-change in the growth
rate of energy demand
due to population growth
and economic
development, and Shell
estimates that after
2015 supplies of
easy-to-access oil
and gas will no
longer keep
up with
demand."

“In the past, we didn’t understand the effect of our actions. Unknowingly, we sowed the wind and now, literally, we are reaping the whirlwind. But we no longer have that excuse: now we do recognise the consequences of our behaviour. Now surely, we must act to reform it: individually & collectively; nationally & internationally.”David Attenborough
“Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.” David Ogilvy 1911-1999
