The G7’s Energy Awakening

Global Voices

By Saleem H. Ali, Distinguished Professor of Energy and the Environment at the University of Delaware: The late Nobel laureate chemist Richard Smalley once argued that humanity's challenges can be overcome by ensuring energy delivery.

Today, with even G7 countries experiencing the cascading effects of energy insecurity on their economies and democratic institutions, the world is learning the hard way that Smalley was right. We have limited means of international governance or science-based decision-making regarding energy security. Let us hope, therefore, that the rude awakening provided by the current global economic crisis and the war in Ukraine will lead to more constructive international action and sensible domestic energy policies.
