The celebration welcoming the second half of the 21st century on 31 December
2050 was subdued in the Persian Gulf. The major cities of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait,
and others were dark. No fireworks or other signs of jubilation. Even those among
them who had diversified their economies by investing in tourism, technology parks,...
Disadvantages of fossil fuel derived transportation fuels (greenhouse gas emissions,
pollution, resource depletion, unbalanced supply-demand relations) are strongly
reduced or even absent with biotransportation fuels. Of all biofuels, ethanol is
already produced on a fair scale. It produces slightly less greenhouse emissions than...
Despite efforts to increase renewables, the global energy mix is still likely to be dominated by fossil-fuels in the foreseeable future, particularly gas for electricity and oil for land, air and sea transport. The reliance on depleting conventional oil and natural gas resources and the geographic distribution of these reserves can have...

When I meet old friends and they ask, "How are you?" I often reply, "I'm fine; it's the world I am worried about." "Aren't we all" is the common response. Most people have a rather vague sense of concern about the future, but some worry about specific threats such as climate change or population...
Many people wonder: Are we really running out of oil, or is it all a ruse to drive prices up? Is nuclear power safe and economical? Is solar energy really the key to providing plenty of carbon-free energy? Do we have enough natural gas or coal to make any loss of oil production irrelevant?
