HOW THE NEXT ENERGY CRISIS WILL AFFECT WA

With renowned economics, finance and energy expert Nicole Foss - aka “Stoneleigh” (The Automatic Earth).

Thursday 8 March 5.45pm for a 6pm start
Perth Town Hall, Barrack Street, Perth.

Nicole Foss warns that energy shortages, climate change, population growth, food insecurity and political unrest are forming a “perfect storm” that will disrupt our whole industrial system.
What does this mean for WA? Will our resource riches protect us from the global crisis or are we about to go down with the ship?

British-born Canadian Nicole Foss was a Research Fellow at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. She now writes under the name “Stoneleigh”

Ms Foss will present her analysis of the coming financial storm, followed by a panel discussion with:
Scott Ludlam - Australian Greens Senator for WA
