& Sustainable Energy
LEADERSHIP!
‘If the leader hath no vision the people
will perish’ Proverbs 29:18
This isn’t about ‘climate change’
‘sustainable energy’ or ‘carbon
dioxide’.
It’s about ‘communities’, ‘families’,
‘organisations’ & ‘businesses’.

"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."
