Introducing the Black Swan blog<\/a>
This post from September, 2012 explains why I decided to start the Black Swan Blog. Although it has not garnered even a tiny fraction of the interest shown in the latest Hollywood wardrobe malfunction it has been read by tens of thousands of people. From the feedback I have had from readers all over the world I feel it has made a useful contribution to the conversation about renewable energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Sustainable Energy Manifesto<\/a>
This post summarizes what I believe would be the most effective policies to achieve a sustainable energy environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a World of Abundant Inexpensive Energy<\/a>
This post discusses the very positive consequences of attaining a sustainable energy environment. This includes shifting a significant amount of agricultural production to greenhouses in Northern areas and providing plentiful fresh water through water desalination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The $US 134 Trillion, 100 Year Challenge<\/a>
Transitioning away from a hydro-carbon based economy will be a $US 134 Trillion, 100 Year Challenge. In this blog post I run the numbers on replacing the fossil-fuel based energy we all consume in modern society with renewables. Having spent $US 2.4 Trillion over the last 15+ years we are now 1.4% of the way to our goal. If the earth were a car the low fuel light would be blinking and we would be 100 miles from the next gas station. This is not going to be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
