The main keyword of this site is "energy crisis", because that is the closest expression I can find to describe such a large topic. By it, I do not mean rising energy bills or fuel shortages as a result of industrial action or similar.
You can search the site using the box below, and also from any page in the top right corner.
This site is about the future of the human race and how that future depends on our access to cheap, widespread energy. Try to imagine how things would be if you had a power cut for a week. 3 months? What if your entire neighbourhood had no access to energy?
That is what I mean by "energy crisis". No need to panic, though; everything will be just fine. Take a deep breath and keep reading: where there are problems there are solutions and people to provide them.
I hope you enjoy the articles and find them of interest. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any comments or questions.

Alternative Energy Sources
Solar, wind, hydroelectric and so on. These tend to be both renewable and most do not emit carbon dioxide.

What Is Global Warming?
Not just an explanation of how it works, but how it affects our approach to energy, the urgency of our actions and the problems we face if we fail. Global warming has been dubbed "The Great Distraction". I prefer "The Great Accelerator".
