Life was good when we were young.
Summers were sunny and winters were wintry.
Wherever you looked, things were growing.
Both bigger and better.
Or at least on the surface
that was the way it seemed to be.
In reality
we were using up resources that weren’t ours to use.
A few looked for alternatives
while others simply carried on as before.
But
slowly at first
awareness came.
We believed that renewables were the energy of the future.
When they said it was impossible
we developed the first triple-hybrid power plant.
We worked with the researchers
the scientists, the innovators
the entrepreneurs.
And not least, the politicians.
Together
we are laying the foundations for a new era.
Building new infrastructures within our societies
finding new ways for people to live their lives
to move around
to produce goods
and to waste less.
And because climate change has no boundaries
we’re taking clean energies to places that have none.
Creating pathways for new and sustainable growth.
Of course the battle against climate change may never end.
But day by day
the energy transition is happening
and the pendulum is starting to swing.
So that some day
once again
summers may be sunny
and winters may be wintry.
