Population Growth and Resource Consumption

• Population Growth Chart 1800 to 2050

• DOE World Energy Consumption Chart 1950 to 2050


Peak Oil

• Chart of Oil Production and Proven Reserves 1900 – 2100

• Chart of Oil Price 1950 to Present

The Era of Cheap Oil is over!

Chart of Natural Gas Prices 1950 to Present


Climate Change

• Chart CO2 Percentage in Air 1800 – Present

• Chart Consumption of Fossil Fuels 1800 – Present


Climate Change

The Scientists Learning about Man-Made Climate

Change:

1. Club of Rome 1970s

2. Kyoto Protocol

3. World Climate Congress Bali 2007

4. Working towards global targets need to find a good overview of the history of our understanding of man-made climate change....


Climate Change

Predicted Consequences of Climate Change:• more severe weather patterns (storms etc)• rising sea levels, affecting all costal regions• changing precipitation, affecting agriculture• ecological stress on all species• loss of bio diversity through accelerated extinctions

Planet Earth will become a rougher place for all of us


Solar Facts

Some solar facts:

• solar irradiation

• total solar energy to Earth

• another 5 billion years to go

• the energy is free – the sun does not send a bill

Forms of Renewable Solar Energy:

• Biomass

• Hydro Power

• Wind Power

• Solar Thermal

• Photo Voltaic (PV)

• Concentrating Solar Thermal

Solar Energy is Plentiful


The Beauty of Renewable

The application of Renewable Energy Technologies requires a one-time capital invest to implement the required means to harvest solar energy, eg a wind turbine, hydro dam or a solar thermal installation. The incoming energy is free and clean. Well executed Renewable Energy Installations have a very long life time, with multiple times of pay-back over their life time.

• Renewable Energy Installations create local work and keep money within the local communities, versus sending money to the Middle East to enrich feudal Sheiks.

• Renewable Energy is de-centralized.
