Studying issues to do with the production and consumption of energy (and reporting on them, as ECO123 is doing in this article) is an experience that is very similar to observing the waves in the sea. There is a kind of oscillation between positive information and negative data, between reasons for optimism and causes for concern. At a pivotal moment for the future of the planet, we urgently need to draw conclusions from the huge amount of information available, and, above all, decide on and implement measures.
