The future of energy?

What are the most important scenarios for the future of the production and distribution of energy? Is it credible that people all over the world will soon be able to access clean energy that is (approaching) "too cheap to meter"? What are the obstacles and opportunities arising? What could go wrong, and what could go right?

These are the questions we'll be discussion in this London Futurists in the Pub meetup. Expect to hear about innovations in solar power, nuclear energy, geoengineering, and lots more. And expect eclectic conversations (in larger or smaller groups) to expand and challenge your thinking about what the future may bring.

Contact the organisers to request one of the available lead speaking slots at this event (up to 10 minutes per person).

** Everyone who attends will be invited to say a few quick words about themselves during the opening part of the event, and to briefly mention a news story or an item from science fiction that has made them think twice about the future of energy. Please come prepared! **

== Schedule ==

5:30pm: The room is available, for early get-togethers

There's no charge to register or attend, but the pub will expect everyone to order at least one drink, and the majority of attendees to order some food to eat.

Please order your food on your arrival, so that all plates can be set aside by 6:45pm to allow everyone to concentrate on the main discussion!
