62 The Radical Middle Academia/NGO Government The Radical Middle Industry Scott W. Tinker, EARTH, 2013

63 The Eight 1. Energy security affordable, available, reliable, sustainable should guide energy strategy. Dear Keystone decision makers 2. Governments, industry and academe must compromise for objective, balanced energy strategy. 3. Energy efficiency requires a cultural change. 4. A diverse energy mix is healthy. 5. Renewables will remain regional supplements until advances are made in energy storage. 6. Shale will play a global role in the energy future; above ground issues are as challenging as below ground. 7. Natural gas resources are abundant and along with nuclear is a 21 st century foundational energy. 8. Energy, the economy and the environment are linked.
