A Pragmatic Take On Energy: Trade-Offs, Costs, & Geopolitics

Our massive energy system is complex, yet many narratives gloss over the real costs, material constraints, and trade-offs of different energy sources. This lecture explores our heavy reliance on fossil fuels, the challenges associated with solar and wind, increasing energy demand, and critical differences between the developed and developing world. We also examine key geopolitical and national security dynamics and how they should shape energy policy.
