In Future Energy Scenarios 2025, we outline our expectation to see electricity demand nearly triple by 2050 and how accelerating the delivery of clean electricity, bioenergy, hydrogen, and energy storage solutions can meet this to deliver energy security to a net zero Britain 👇
What better way to start the day than at the Bill Gates Sr House for the 2025 @Gates_Cambridge Weekend, hearing from @BillGates, being part of a panel discussion on just transitions w/ @EilisFerran, @reetiks & Babette Tachibana-Brophy, & learn lots from my fellow Gates Scholars!
How China’s power as a rare earth exporter – made from Chinese patience allied to US offshoring – and China’s needs as a rare earth importer – made from Made in China 2025 – have changed the world.
‘If the damage China can cause as an exporter are now as clear as crystal, the significance of China’s own need for rare earths is still under-rated.’ @HelenHet20 on Xi’s plan to dominate the world’s rare earth elements 👇 buff.ly/wNvXxNW
