With President Donald Trump pulling out of the climate change agreement, this week’s energy conference in Saint John becomes more relevant.
A software development executive with Siemens, Pierre Mullin says there’s broad consensus that the use of renewable forms of energy is the wave of the future. Whether carbon pricing spurs their development remains to be seen. He says it all depends on what the details are.
Mullin says some alternative energy technologies will take a little longer while others will come along faster than presumed.
Mullin says lowering the price of energy storage would go a long way to accelerating the growth of wind and solar technologies.
