If you were trying to design an energy system for a rapidly growing population, it would be hard to do worse than the one we have today. It’s brittle — dependent upon unstable regions and massive centralized networks. It’s dirty — poisoning us with mercury and heating the atmosphere with carbon. And it’s finite — we’re perilously close to running out of one of our key energy resources, oil. Getting away from all of this won’t be easy, and we’re running out of time to make it happen.
But there’s also good news: We know exactly what we need to do to get out of this mess, and we have all of the necessary tools at hand.
