ABOUT THE THEME

Will the end of the oil age mark the end of civilization as we know it? Will we descend into Mad Max mayhem as pumps run dry? Or can the threat of a post-Peak Oil dystopia inspire communities to institute new sustainable models of energy production, conservation, and sharing? A growing number of institutions, researchers, and DIY pioneers propose new ways to create and conserve power and transfer to using renewable energy in our lives. Innovations in technology have led to a flowering of wind farms, new fuel cells, rapid improvements in photovoltaiic systems, hydroelectric, and biomass energy solutions like Biochar. Visionaries like The Resonance Project’s Nassim Haramein work toward harnessing the energy of the vacuum, or the quantum field, to access infinite power.

For this Spore, we will discuss the future of energy, from radical innovations and renewable technologies to conservation through upgraded environmental design. When we know the situation we face and the options available to us, we can work together to prepare a soft landing for the fossil fuel power-down.
