energy security depends upon diversification. natural gas should not be overlooked. HORMATS talked about the key role that shale and gasification will play. he calls this a natural gas bridge to supply a bridge. energy governance is also an issue that needs to be encouraged globally as 'new reserves' in 'new countries' [ie Papua New Guinea, Ghana] come on-line. this will help them get it right so that. the link between energy and water as well as energy, water and food is critical to understand. water security issues will soon be recognized as important as energy security. they need to be considered together.

SHARMA. we cannot neglect to recognize that there is avast difference between the current and near term needs of developed and developing countries. the responses, thus must be differentiated to the national differences. energy security cannot be spoken about without including food security. universal access to energy, so that every citizen has access to a minimum must be guaranteed. so for him, energy security is really about getting energy to the millions of poor citizens who are desperate for it.

LEAPE - we have to be careful to ensure that we are not forgetting that the climate is struggling. we need to ensure that renewables are at the heart of the transition. most important on policy front; we need to stop subsidizing oil and coal production and finding a way to put a price on carbon, transportation needs to go electric as soon as possible. many of these things can happen at a national level. developing nations need to get on a low carbon development path.

do we need an E20? the energy twenty?

we will see a gas glut within the next year.

only 30 countries have petrochemical reserves. 170 have to import it.
