    Fossil fuels have powered human growth and ingenuity for centuries. Now that we're reaching the end of cheap and abundant oil and coal supplies, we're in for an exciting ride. While there's a real risk that we'll fall off a cliff, there's still time to control our transition to a post-carbon future.
    A deeper analysis of the crises we face, and possible solutions we can work on right now can be had HERE: j.mp/PCReader

    It is the start of 2017 now and here in Southern Ontario EVERYBODY is buying massive gas guzzling SUVs, because gasoline is cheap and plentiful, all because of the massive oil surpluses caused by the fracking boom. People are not trying to move to a future without fossil fuels, instead they are using up more gasoline and other forms of fossil fuels more than ever before.

      No. Invented. And it’s alternating, not alternative. To achieve ac, you need to move deliberately fabricated coils in a specific way in a magnetic field. Before ac, there was static electricity, which does occur naturally. Please don’t undermine the work of great people.

    Living without a car is a really liberating experience but I do have to pay much higher rent to live in a walk friendly city like Seattle. I know a lot of people who don't have this option. Also buildings are responsible for a lot of carbon emissions and tend to get overlooked in the discussion. Again environmentalists sometimes come across as elitists because so few people can afford a brand new eco-friendly home; we need to make the environmental movement more relevant to people in poverty and less "high morality", high end consumer based .

    Our world as we know will cave in on us, If we don't move on to other fossil fuel-like sources that can sustain our species for generations to come. You may not know it, but future generations will have a harder time coping with the ever-growing shortage of oil, gas, coal, or any other non-renewable resource.

    There are 700-800 solar panels produced every hour and 250-400 wind turbines being produced an hour.
    We can use more nuclear energy like China.
    We can make massive dams like China, China has the largest dam and it can power Shanghai and Hong Kong but they are saving that energy to build a new mega city.
    We are getting there let's switch to getting solar panels on our roofs and switching to electric cars.
    Humans are not dumb and we will survive with or without fossil fuels.
