By Plenary Sessions: Kersti Sarapuu

The political focus is directed toward energy and justifying the use of oil shale. The speaker strongly supports the continued use of oil shale, justifying this with technological solutions for reducing the CO2 footprint and obtaining valuable byproducts (e.g., in medicine and household chemicals). The position is optimistic and technology-based, believing that the value of the byproducts balances out the high price of electricity.
