 The Impacts of Burning Fossil Fuels

About 80% of energy needs are now

supplied by burning hydrocarbons
(oil, coal and natural gas).

•  Climate Change

•  Economic stress

•  Geopolitical instability

•  Food shortages

 The Solutions
•  Reduce demand
–  Slow, then reverse, growth in demand
–  Do not retard development

•  Meet demand with alternatives to carbon-based fuels

–  Solar
–  Wind
–  Thermoelectrics
–  Hydro
–  Nuclear

The debate is over. We know the science. We see the threat.

And we know the time for action is now.
