BIG QUESTIONS - ENERGY
HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION AND EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF ENERGY?
Finite Resources; Growth is too fast; How do we deal with The resources are not distirbuted - Australia has uranimum and space, but all reactors are in Japan Example - Indonesia has a high quality of coal; they have challenges in utilizing it locally. Now they have improvised their business model to get the coal miners build power plants before they can export As long as you dont have power, demand is low. The moment you have it then the usage explodes Suppply demand mismatch. How do you distribute between the have and have nots. Problem is not in resources; it is the consequences of using those resources. The climate change and social impact of that. Negative power prices when there is low demand and high supply in deregulated markets. Opportunity for energy storage Microgrid for remote electrification in thousands of islands in Indonesia and worldwide

Healthcare
How do we provide access to healthcare?
1. Who is going to pay for healthcare - central/ global payor system?
2.Corporations will take more responsibility- keep your employees well; incentivise them
3. Pyramid of healthcare - bottom of pyramid- basic healthcAre should be provided universally whereas top of pyramid can be elective and privately funded.
4.Technology will drive access to healthcare - mobile
5. Healthcare going back to basics at the same time; Simple easy to use products that are cost effective
6. Government believes private is not picking up fast enough. . There has to be better dialogue for public private partnerships. The goverment's focus is going to be for building step-down care
7. Behavior change has to start young- in school
Are we going to live until we are 110???
