Energy Resilience
Electricity is:
- the ‘stickiest’ form of energy: it stays in the continent where it is produced.
- multi-sourced. If one source suffers a shortage, we can produce electricity from another, including renewable sources.
As a result, it gives the greatest degree of energy resilience and the energy system is going to electrification.

Famous quotes containing the words energy and/or resilience:
“Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something “ugly.” His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride—they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Toddlers who don’t learn gradually about disappointment lose their resilience through lack of practice in give-and-take with other people’s needs. They can become self-centered, demanding, and difficult to like or to be with.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
