Running Out Of Resources

Unread postby AdamB » Sat 04 Nov 2017, 19:18:07



The idea of an 'industrial economy' is an extremely recent human invention. And we’ve staked quite a lot on its continuation. But it faces a massive predicament: It’s running out of resources. When talking about the “economy”, we're really referring to the flow of goods and services --- which are themselves entirely dependent on energy. No energy = no goods and services = no economy. It’s really that simple. So to track where we are in this story, put on your ‘energy goggles’. If you do, you can discover quite a lot. Examples of our increasing use of energy to extract primary resources are all around you, if you know where to look. Most folks, though, willfully distract, if not delude, themselves with faith in our technological triumphs, so they remain blind to the evidence -- even when it's right in front of their faces. On
