Sustainable Energy: Our Civilization's Current Status

Here’s a very good, objective and realistic treatment of our planet’s attempts at sustainable energy, from the combined perspectives of technology, economics, and politics.   Here, in one document, readers will get “the whole nine yards” as to how difficult this subject is and how much work we have to do.  The take-away, sadly, is a recognition of how unlikely it is that we’ll get there, given all the political infighting and obfuscations that get in the way of confronting the sheer magnitude of the challenge that lies in front of us.

    Nuclear power from uranium is sustainable if we used the uranium efficiently which our current PWRs do not.

    If we ever ran out of uranium which could be mined, we could extract it from sea water in which case there is no way we could ever run out.
