Energy and the Future of Humanity

On 10/5/12, I spoke on Energy and the Future of Humanity at the Recylique in Durham, NC. A link to the  slides I presented there is given on my Energy Web Page: http://astro.uncfsu.edu/mattox/energy/.

My conclusion is that atmospheric carbon must be our primary concern in setting energy policy. I find that continued exponential growth in humanity's combustion of fossil fuels is likely to be catastrophic! Perhaps we need to set to work on envisioning a radical redesign of the American lifestyle.

What do you think?
