The world's energy system is 'no longer fit for purpose,' says energy council chief
Story by Lee Ying Shan • Yesterday 8:51 PM
 
The council's most recent report forecasts that around half of the global energy system will still not be electrified by 2050, which would mark a blow to many governments' net-zero pledges.

Following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, global energy markets have also been impacted by a series of setbacks.

Forty-six countries are pricing emissions by means of carbon taxes or other emissions trading programs, according to data last year from the International Monetary Fund.
 
The world's energy system is no longer "fit for purpose," according to World Energy Council CEO Angela Wilkinson, who alluded to lackluster momentum toward a planned green energy transition.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
