Chen Deming and the worlds energy future
/
Today, the same day Chen Deming, formally was appointed new commerce minister it was up on Wikipedia. Would like a little more analytical parts on Wikipedia, but apart from this it is an amazing tool.This might be one of the most important person on the planet when it comes to a sustainable energy future. The fact that he's been called both "the most powerful – yet least known – figure in China’s booming energy sector" and "technology geek" is something I hope will make the upcoming reports about ICT and reduction of a billion tonnes CO2 something he will take a closer look at...
Few in the energy sector manage to both understand how the energy system works and also understand that the challenges/opportunities are on the demand side (not the production side). With Chen we could get a strategic person who focus more on sustainable construction and smart controlling of energy use and less on construction of coal power plants. Is the world ready?
