Atributos esenciales para los políticos de la energía

Nick Butler los propone para el Reino Unido, pero yo creo que son igual de aplicables para España:

• A world view that reminds them that eliminating all UK emissions will not solve the global problem. 
• The political sense to see that the public support for necessary changes will evaporate if they impose ever greater costs on energy users while leaving the global problem unresolved. 
• The ability to face down an army of lobbyists seeking to shape the system in the interest of their clients. 
• Specific knowledge of the continuing technical revolution in the energy business. This has reduced costs and now offers possibilities for a transition to a lower carbon economy not just in the developed world but also in the emerging economies where the real challenge of the next few decades lies. 

A mí me parece particularmente importante el tercero, aunque Butler subraya esto no debe suponer sacar a las empresas de la mesa de negociación.
