Analyzing My Text's Cultural Setting

Below is the Cultural Setting my article is written in. Pardon the pun, but the climate our economy is under has forced the government and industry to conform to what scientists, consumers and voters are worried about which is dwindling amount of fossil fuels and the rapid global warming that is affecting the entire world. That is the global climate and below is how this setting affected the piece.

1. This article was written September 16, 2015 by Steven Cowley. Steven Cowley is a professor of physics at Impreial College in London, Head of EURATOM / CCFE Fusion Association and the CEO of UK Atomic Energy Authority. Dr. Cowley is obviously well respected with in the atomic energy field and because of his expertise he was chosen to this article. Throughout the article he mentions the need for renewable energy, the UN Climate Change Council and the increase use of renewable energy. The idea of renewable energy becoming the predominate source of humanity's energy needs is the core idea of the article. Dr. Cowley simply submits that a majority of humanity's energy will come from nuclear fusion plants like the ones funded by international cooperation. Also, the laws put in place through mandates agreed upon at UN Councils like the one above is apart of our culture now and Dr. Cowley is responding as the face of nuclear fusion community to come up with a way to meet the goals these mandates set. These are the ideas and laws of our culture driving this article.
2. Dr. Cowley directly mentions what the UN Climate Change Council expects and then provides direct examples of fusion experiments being tested how to create viable fusion reactors that are cheap enough for the average consumer to buy electricity from. He also mentions, directly, the need for fusion reactions to become viable so it can compliment other renewable energy sources. At the end of the article, Dr. Cowley does provide some narration about what would happen if nuclear fusion reactors are not viable when humanity's supply of fossil fuels begins to dwindle. This is an indirect way, Dr. Cowley uses to get his point across by using our culture's fear of no energy.
3. It is supportive of the idea of an economy completely run on renewable energies. He only seeks to refine the public's understand of nuclear fusion technology because he believes it is the best way to provided renewable energy in the future on a consistent basis.
