Dive Summary:
- Speaking at the launch of Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy last week, analyst Daniel Yergin posed three big questions the energy industry must ask itself.
- “Is there enough energy?” “How do we deal with new energy security threats?” and “How do we deal with energy and climate change?”
- Yergin pointed to numerous attacks on the energy system as evidence of increasing security threats.
From the article:
“There are still physical security threats to producing infrastructure like those witnessed in Nigeria earlier this year, he said, and we face threats to physical delivery systems like those highlighted with the Northeastern US fuel shortages post Hurricane Sandy, Yergin said.”
