Energy in Switzerland after Fukushima

Thanks to the BPW (Business and Professional Women), Club Lake Geneva who invited me to speak about the energy market and its status and perspectives in Switzerland. Indeed Switzerland is one of the rare countries to have decided to phase out nuclear power after the Fukushima catastrophy.

Fukushima has definitely been a world trigger to accelerate the development of renewable energies but vigilance is needed facing increasing energy needs worldwide while memories tend to be short!

I enjoyed the interactive round table with the 18 participants and had the pleasure to meet Ann, Sabine, Joyce, Véronique, Adrienne, Laureline, Hilary, Margareta, Isabelle, Violette, Doris, Christa and many others! I was surprised by the openness of mind and great interest the group showed towards the complex and up to date challenge that energy needs bring to our society.

Here is the slide show covering the topic I presented that evening!
