Globe Perspectives: Attitudes Changing

For years, Don McIntosh has had a front seat as North America transitions to clean energy. As the associate publisher of a clean energy magazine, he’s seen the green energy trend move from fringe to Fortune 500.

Never before has he seen the pace of innovation as significant as it is today.

“Now it’s very mainstream and it’s very encouraging to see the leaders of some of these large corporations really get behind it.”

Don McIntosh spoke about his optimism for clean technology at the GLOBE 2016 Conference and Innovation Expo in Vancouver in March. He was not paid for his comments and did not endorse any specific company. GLOBE is North America’s largest and longest-running conference series dedicated to business innovation and climate change solutions for the planet.

In the world's conversation about energy, one point is beyond debate: Energy makes a vital contribution to people's quality of life, to society and to human progress. This is true today, and it will remain true in the future. That's why Energy Matters was created. We believe it's important to equip people with unbiased information so they may form opinions, join the conversation and feel confidence in the work and accomplishments of the energy sector. Energy Matters is an initiative that provides transparent information and perspective on energy. Here, we'll cover a range of topics: the scale of global energy; the ways energy is sourced and produced; current energy technology; forthcoming innovations; the world's future energy needs; and the sustainable sources of energy that will fill them. Because energy matters to everyone, we hope you'll rely on Energy Matters as an ongoing source of balanced information.
