| | Energy Security
Energy is the keystone of modern civilization, and as such disruptions to energy supply from accident, natural disaster, or targeted attack have the potential to seriously disrupt society. Are their ways to make energy production and distribution more secure? Are some forms of energy production more secure than others? | 3 topics | 32 posts |
| | Energy Production
As oil supplies shrink, we will have to develop alternative means of energy production. This is a difficult problem; we must develop a reliable, steady energy supply while not compromising the global environment. Likely there is no one right answer, and many energy production techniques will supply our civilization in the future. | 3 topics | 13 posts |
| | Energy Supply
As demand for energy continues to grow, conventional supplies are beginning to peak. Oil supplies, in particular, are experiencing the pressure of growing demand from America, India and China at the same time as many fields are passing their production peak. Are we entering a period of scarce and expensive energy? | 2 topics | 8 posts |
| | Transportation and Energy
From the morning commute to the shipping of goods, our society is built around cheap transportation. The infrastructure of our cities and towns assumes cheap and plentiful automobile travel. Will we move towards higher densities and public transport? Or will we bet on a hydrogen fueled vehicle fleet to preserve our quality of life? | 3 topics | 13 posts |
| | Food and Energy
The food on our table is extremely energy intensive, from the petroleum fertilizers spread upon giant fields to the transport system that cheaply moves food around the globe. Why is it that lettuce from New Zealand can be sold in Canada at the same price as a domestic product? What will the food system look like in a world where energy is much more expensive? | 2 topics | 5 posts |
| | Business as Usual
If the end of the oil age is so easy to predict, and if global climate change is as dangerous as most scientists claim, why aren’t governments and individuals taking more action to change our energy use patterns? | 3 topics | 6 posts |
| | New Worlds, New Minds
