Jack Santa-Barbara, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Director of the Sustainable Scale Project
- Position:
- Con to the question "Can Alternative Energy Effectively Replace Fossil Fuels?"
- Reasoning:
-
“There are no alternative energy sources that have the high net energy return of oil, gas and coal, and when these non-renewable resources reach their peak production and start to decline, everything will change…
We will all be forced to consume less energy; of this there is little doubt. The big question is whether this will be forced on us by the inexorable economic chaos from depletion of our primary non-renewable resources, oil, natural gas and coal, or by our adapting to this inevitability in a thoughtful and organized manner.”
