" ...the ‘2050 Calculator’ is a refreshing approach to thinking through how we might solve the misalignment of demand and supply. The concept of the calculator is one in which individuals can experiment with a wide range of behavioral decisions and tolerance for energy options."

The short but sweet visit of the Former UK Chief Scientific Advisor of DECC (Department of Climate Change and Energy), Prof. David Mackay, brought with him – not only his scientific insights on global warming, but also a paradigm-shifting-type of thinking to the very stagnant energy policy conversation in Taiwan. Weeks before Prof. Mackay’s visit, Taiwan held its National Energy Conference. And as most national meetings go, regardless of subject, very limited (if any) consensus was reached. I apologize that this post will not be about the gridlock of the energy debate in Taiwan (as interesting as it otherwise would have been) – but will be about why and how we should view the energy problem with, hopefully, a fresher pair of lens.
英國能源暨氣候變遷部前首席科學顧問專家，大衛‧馬凱教授(David Mackay)短暫但親切地拜訪台灣，他所分享的不僅是對全球暖化的科學見解，也為停滯不前的台灣能源政策，帶來能促使典範移轉的思考。其實就在馬凱教授來訪前，台灣才召開了全國能源會議，如同大多數的國家級會議，這場會議達成共識有限。很抱歉這篇文章並非要談台灣能源論辯的僵局，而是關於我們為何，以及該如何以更不落伍的視角，希望如此，來看待能源問題。
