    "Just Substitute Oil" by Jeremy Bentham in this issue of BusinessDeccan 

     Jeremy JB Bentham is a co-chair and senior advisor at World Energy Council and retired Shell scenarios leader. 

    In this article he explains why stopping investment in fossil energy needs to be done in a balanced way to avoid harm to the most vulnerable people on this planet 

     Jeremy maintains that the slogans should be "manage supply responsibly", rather than snappy "just stop oil". He also states that managing supply responsibly (and supply needs to follow aggressive reduction in demand that our environment needs) does still involve serious ongoing capital investments. 
     

    Do you agree? What should the just energy transition look like? 
     What are the best practices to manage investees-incumbents and to develop your portfolio in the fossil fuel space?
