Linear take, make, waste.

Coal is a fossil fuel.

Without it, we'd be in serious trouble.

and food into people.

We've talked about the soil erosion.

The only reason modern agriculture can get away with killing the life in the soil is through another use of fossil fuel.

I had the privilege to speak twice to the president's climate task force.

We now rely on distant countries for basic necessities.

We're running out of fresh water.

The world runs on fossil fuel.

Now there's no question about it at all we will only solve the problem of replacing fossil fuels with technology.

The source of fuel crude oil.

I made a promise that the next time I would fly around the world, it would be with no fuel, independent from fossil energies, in order to be safe, not to be threatened by the fuel gauge.

Fossil fuel prices shot through the roof.

Electric cars run on electricity.

Improvement of natural energy technology

This includes the production of electricity, the extraction of fossil fuels, and the manufacturing of all manner of goods, from microchips, to paper, to blimps.

The continent is abundant in fossil fuels.

What is life after fossil fuels going to be like?

Secondly, shifting from a linear, wasteful, polluting way of using resources to a closed loop model.

So, the idea is that if we fly around the world in a solar powered airplane, using absolutely no fuel, nobody ever could say in the future that it's impossible to do it for cars, for heating systems, for computers, and so on and so on.

But I also am in the fueling business.

One unit like this is an energy unit of fossil fuel oil, coal or gas.

When this happens, they're compressed under tons of pressure, and turned into carbon based fossil fuels

This vast continent is abundant in fossil fuels.

As the pressure grew, so did the heat, until a chemical reaction transformed the organics into hydrocarbon fossil fuels

Fossil fuels won't be available forever.

Another motivation, of course, is climate change.

like oil, coal or natural gas.

Imagine if we said, Oh yes, we can get off fossil fuels.

It's chemically fueled.

Suburbia, and many communities were designed on the assumption of plentiful oil and energy.

Fossil fuels are abundant in that vast continent.

They know perfectly well, but they have no other choice.

Other renewables only generate 2.5 .

China is building nuclear power stations. Everybody is.

This is called energy density.

My visit to Ireland has given me a lot to think about.

Like professor Kanisawa,

That means that we have to wean ourselves from fossil fuels and re engineer our lives to adapt to a world of growing energy scarcity.

This stove burns oil.

This stove uses kerosene.

In fact, even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.

Because of course all of that import has to come by way of fossil fuelled vehicles of one kind or another, whether it's ships or airplanes.

Carbon dioxide is a gas that is produced every time a fuel such as coal, oil, or natural gas is burned.
