meant to make us stronger，sometimes we travel to explore and learn，and in all of these
undertakingswegrowandbecomewiser.
There is a lot we can learn from the land that surrounds us and the best way to acquire that
knowledge is by traveling and experiencing.This ancient aboriginal initiation ritual involves
exactly this ： a long spiritual hike across the indigenous land.Although widely known as
"Walkabout，"inlateryearstheritualhasbeenreferredtoas"temporarymobility，"becausethe

Historically speaking，the walkabout is a rite of passage in which young （adolescent）
Aboriginal Australians undertake a journey that will help "transform" them into adults.The
journey is usually made between the ages of 10 and 16.During this journey which can last for up
tosixmonths，theindividualisrequiredtoliveandsurviveallaloneinthewilderness.

most important factor in improving the lives of individuals and increasing the economic
opportunities available in their communities.Access to lighting transforms education from
outdoors during the day，to indoors and anytime!A simple refrigerator can transform a fruit
stand to a grocery store.Reliable electricity allows businesses to stay open and ultimately
providesthecornerstonethatallowsindustriestoform.
There is a dominant school of thought that energy access can be achieved around the world
with only carbon﹣free sources.This paradigm envisions effectively "leapfrogging" traditional
developmentpatterns，skippingindustrialization，andtransformingeconomieswithgreenenergy
andaserviceeconomy.While compelling intheory，this visionlacks severalcriticalfactors：the
needtomanufacturethegoodsthatwillbuildtheeconomy，thescalabilityofenergysources，and
theaffordabilityofthatenergy.
This transformation is currently underway and its progress is inevitable.The urgency is
created by individuals' current，difficult conditions and the availability of abundant，affordable
energy，particularlycoal.Allnewenergydemandwillcomefromthedevelopingworld.Withouta
thoughtful conversation about the projected doubling of world energy demand ， energy
consumption will continue as it is currently underway，in two parallel paths.One path prioritizes
carbon﹣freesources，andsetsgoalsandpoliciesthatincentivizethose.Theotherpathrespondsto

ofcoal﹣firedelectricitygeneration.
The reality of energy development can be summarized in the example of India's projected
energydevelopment.By2022，Indiaisplanning100GWofnewsolarandarelativelytiny50MW
of new coal.However，a simple calculation of the likely emissions of these two new sources of
energy conducted by a colleague at Stanford indicates that if all this new electricity generation
came from natural gas，the result would be 20 percent fewer emissions.This is a conversation
worthhaving.
Although not a carbon﹣free source，natural gas has a transformative role to play in the

Additionally，excessive adherence to the source material extends to using silly plot devices
