Synopsis

John will cover the economics of renewable energy sources, and the financial support mechanisms in place. Then he will go onto how the experience curve might suggest these costs will fall as greater volumes are installed, and he'll finish up by setting out some specifics of how the offshore oil and gas industry's experience can help to achieve this.
