Almost no industry in the world could function today without some form of energy. It is needed everywhere humans live and work. Our current primary sources of energy – fossil fuels and hydropower – are finite, and other sources have gained popularity and usage in recent times, so the industry, almost by definition, is in a constant state of flux.
The need for reliable and adaptable energy resources shows no sign of slowing down as the world’s population increases, demand grows and developing nations adopt new technologies. People are increasingly demanding a transition to sources of energy with less adverse effects on the environment, and which will lessen our dependence on fossil fuels. The conversation around energy and its impact on our quality of life is sure to be one of the main narratives of the coming years.
