** (19. MARCH 2011) WINNER OF KZfaq'S BEST NONPROFIT VIDEO AWARD!!! **
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.

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. And 1 more thing, Soviet Russia is badass XD!

The geological survey of Canada just released a report indicating Canada holds over a million times more geothermal potential than what we currently need. This is huge! What this means, barring the smoke and mirrors of a false monetary system and irrational self-interest, is we have a sustainable, clean, renewable energy source that, by itself would meet our energy needs in perpetuity. Necessity is the mother of invention. If we put our minds to the task, we "will" solve our problems.

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 .

When riding my bike, I am amazed at how little respect I get from drivers. We are all accountable for our actions. If we do not pay the consequence, then our children will. This is a fantastic visualization of just how broken the world's model of sustainability really is. This shows clearly that we need to re-invent the wheel of how we live.

the most important single variable determining the health, peacefulness, prosperity,and even morality of a society is whether its population is in line with an invented number called "carrying capacity." This has rationalized fantastic programmes of control and intervention by Western or Western-educated administrators into places like India, both imposing regressive regimes of land tenure and even forced sterilization. Meanwhile, consumption and population were growing in the West.

It's easily found with Google.

However, any energy source for electricity that is sparatic in generation will not be able to be used as baseload until we have the ability to store massive amounts of energy (maybe 20 years, maybe never). Nuclear is an excellent option with generation 4 reactors that have really focused on safety.

to the people saying "we're finding new oil everyday". well yes we are, but not nearly enough oil to support the amount we consume at present day for much longer. Iraq, for example, has around 90 billion barrels of oil. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? Well, when you consider that in 2008 (arguably at peak consumption worldwide) the world was consuming 85 million barrels of oil per day, it doesn't sound like much at all. In fact it would only last what, 11 or 12 days.
