The Energy Futures Lab is the antidote to today's polarized world starved for real conversations that solve real world problems.
The lab recruits 40 "fellows" each year from all aspects of industry and society to tackle some of the most polarized issues of our time, such as how to transition Alberta to net-zero emissions. On the occaision of the lab's 10th Anniversary we talk to Maureen Kolla of the Energy Futures Lab and Tristan Walker an energy consultant who is one of the 40 fellows in 2024.
Tristan is part of a group that came out with A Vision for Alberta's Electricity Future in 2024.
"The Energy Futures Lab is a non-profit organization that was formed 10 years ago, to … depolarize some of the conversations that we're having around the energy transition," says Maureen Kolla, project lead for Alberta's Electricity Future at the Energy Futures Lab.
Each year, the lab recruits 40 fellows to the lab for one-year terms. This is about to change to two-year terms to ensure some continuity.
"Over the last 10 years, we've had about 300 to 400 folks, leaders within the energy system from oil and gas, to electricity, to artists, to city, municipal folks," says Kolla.
The lab facilitates difficult conversations to arrive at solutions to find what Kolla calls the "radical middle."
