Links to talks on possible energy sources

Post by newmac »

There are slides and audio from the good talk on renewables here:
http://www.its.caltech.edu/~mmrc/nsl/energy.html

And there's a video of a similar talk here:

I've listened to the first and it is pretty good but as with a lot of scientists viewpoints it doesn't hink about the consequences of oil peak - doesn't even mention it. A very good overview of the different options (or lack of them) open to us though.

It's a pity they talk of monetary costs rather than energy costs.
