TOPIC: World Energy View

The goal of this presentation is to provide a broad look at the current global energy situation. What does the DATA show? What are sources of DATA? What are challenges in finding and interpreting DATA?

The discussion covers the status and a look back a year and by contrast, ten years.  It is not a forecast. The markets will sort the future out, regardless of government/political interventions!
