`Energy in the Economy: a perspective on the energy transition', a talk by Tom Hutchinson
​
About the talk
This will be a talk about the fundamental role energy plays in supporting economic activity. It will explore what a sustainable energy economy would entail by framing the 'energy = activity' relationship in the context of the dissipative nature of energy use, types of energy flow, and what this might mean for the prospect of an energy transition away from fossil fuel use.
