Lane Sharman sharing his latest insights on renewables

“Real generosity toward the future lies in giving all to the present” - Albert Camus

What awoke your interest to pursue a career working towards creating a more sustainable world? 
The realisation that nature and its diversity deserve to care and stewardship as much as anything. 

What are the key aspects in creating a more sustainable business sector and renewables in the forth coming years? 
We are demonstrating that renewables are without the external costs associated with fossil-fuels and nuclear. Thus, we can and should continue to pursue economic and tax models that recognise these inherent benefits. 

Have you observed any fascinating ”renewable trends” in the recent period that you believe will be paramount in the future? 
The greatest trend without question is energy storage. Now we are creating a renewable world where energy becomes available when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing. ​

Who has inspired you the most to chose the professional path that you are on? 
Jigar Shah.
