Human 2.0: Homo-Petroleosus Becomes Homo-Solarus

Human 2.0: Homo-Petroleosus Becomes Homo-Solarus

We have until 2025 to profoundly change the way we produce and use energy. We could hope that a confused array of carbon taxes, voluntary individual actions, hoped-for technological advances, or beneficent aliens saves us from some climate and environmental catastrophe, or, we could look at the chal...
