| Summary |
What do young Australian engineers who have inherited our present world think about the challenges of designing resilient energy systems within the parameters of new and emerging technologies? This report presents the thoughts of four young engineers on innovative energy design projects they are currently working on, as well as their views on the challenges they foresee for the design of future energy systems. These four sections are bookended by the views of two established leaders within the engineering profession. A core goal of capturing the thoughts and views of these emerging professionals is that, while they have inherited our world, they are now central to the challenge of implementing systems that use the new technologies and ultimately to decommissioning the component parts of our current energy infrastructure systems. This endeavour combines questions of choosing alternative energy sources, evolved means to supply energy and the design of new energy infrastructure networks. These issues are central to deciding on options for how humans may have to live, and prosper, under very different ambient conditions to those of past generations. A further important factor is that legacy energy systems will have to coexist for a time with the newer solutions that will then become emergent norms: a transition that will bring its own tensions |
