Estimating Our Energy Predicament
Primary tabs
Public Lecture: School of Physics Inquiring Minds Series: Professor Tom Murphy, University of California, San Diego
Combining knowledge of physics with a healthy willingness to estimate and approximate, we can say some rather profound things about future paths available to our society in terms of energy and resources. Topics such as growth, global warming, fossil fuels and their potential replacements, and energy storage are ripe targets for back-of-the-envelope quantification, and will be explored in this talk. A subtext is that we should not take for granted that superior substitutes will replace fossil fuels.
