"Examines the rise of a new global energy economy moving away from coal and oil, and toward solar and wind power, as costs for those technologies continue to drop."
Examines the rise of a new global energy economy moving away from coal and oil, and toward solar and wind power, as costs for those technologies continue to drop.
Overview: The great energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy is under way. As oil insecurity deepens, the extraction risks of fossil fuels rise, and concerns about climate instability cast a shadow over the future of coal, a new world energy economy is …
Our civilization faces a choice. We could be enjoying a sustainable lifestyle but we have chosen not to. In three generations we have consumed half the oil produced by photosynthesis over eight million generations. In two generations we have used half our uranium resources. With…
