Abstract
Objectives and Approach
? No energy policy, no matter how well considered, will ever solve all of the problems and paradoxes of energy supply and use.
? Those developing policy must ask how best to address the competing issues of the ‘energy quadrilemma’: addressing climate change; ensuring affordability; providing energy security; and developing energy policy which is acceptable to the public, economically sustainable and just.
? Decision makers will need to be honest with the public about what is achievable, what choices must be made, and what changes will need to occur.
