The Good We possess substantial knowledge about energy and the economy We have recognized the problems We have the tools of systems science George MobusUniversity of Washington Tacoma Institute for the Future: Ten Year Forecast

The Bad Peak energy is at hand Energy return on energy invested (EROEI) Fossil fuels – going down Alternative (renewable) – inherently low Gains in efficiency follow the Law of Diminishing Returns George MobusUniversity of Washington Tacoma Institute for the Future: Ten Year Forecast

and the Ugly Net energy already in decline? Economic activity is directly linked to net energy Efficiency improvements require energy investments No conceivable build-out rate for any combination of alternative sources Permanent contraction? The “worst case scenario” George MobusUniversity of Washington Tacoma Institute for the Future: Ten Year Forecast
