TEXT OF PRESS RELEASE

Eminent speakers, chaired by Sir Bernard Ingham, examined the UK crisis in energy supply at the free seminar, 'Energy for the Future', held at the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, on Wednesday 9th November 2005. Contributors examined the present and future of the UK's energy needs.

The event was organised by the Herts & Beds sub-group of the East of England Engineering Science & Technology Association (EEESTA) with support from many professional engineering institutions and other organisations. Three eminent speakers examined the future needs for energy in the UK and the advantages and disadvantages of various sources of energy.

The Auditorium in the de Havilland Campus at the University of Hertfordshire was filled to its 460 capacity and was heavily oversubscribed. The audience was a mix of engineers, surveyors, scientists and interested members of the public.

Topics ranged from more efficient oil and gas extraction, nuclear energy and renewables. Past mistakes were highlighted and proposals for the way forward were made.
