The world’s energy goals--as embodied in the definition of energy access -- are setting the bar far too low and often measuring the wrong thing.

The cost and reliability of energy is a leading barrier to firm expansion and job creation in many countries across Africa and Asia.

Renewable energy will be a critical component of any long-term energy mix. But solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro are all currently under-exploited across many frontier and emerging markets.

Decisions regarding the future of natural gas will shape local economies, and the global effort to combat both energy poverty and climate change.
