EXTRA! EXTRA! HEINBERG TO SPEAK IN MISSOULA
Blackout: Coal, Climate and the Last Energy Crisis
with Richard Heinberg
Coal is the world's fastest-growing energy source. However, it is the dirtiest of the conventional fossil fuels, and the world's ability to deal with the historic challenge of climate change hinges on whether we burn more or less coal in future years. National and international agencies have assured us that there is plenty of coal, but a series of new studies calls these assurances into question. If these studies are right, the peak of world coal production may be only two decades away. This new information has crucial implications for energy policy, for the world economy, for climate science, and for geopolitics. In this talk, Heinberg will go to the heart of the tough energy questions that will dominate every sphere of public policy throughout the first half of this century.
