Globe 2016 Perspectives: Carbon free transportation

Every generation wants to create something better for the generations that follow. That’s why the drive toward renewable energy is so important, says Suzanne Spence. It’s all about creating a better world for our children and grandchildren while keeping the economy vibrant.

“I think that we do need to be looking toward renewables,” she says. “I find it incredibly encouraging.”

She is especially excited about technologies that encourage carbon-free transportation.

Suzanne Spence spoke about the drive toward renewable energy at the GLOBE 2016 Conference and Innovation Expo in Vancouver in March. She was not paid for her 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.
