We
believe that humanity's biggest challenge in the next few decades
is going to be the transition from our current fossil-fuel-based
economies to whatever comes next. The era of oil and gas is going
to end very soon, in historical terms, and coal will not last long
once it becomes the only source of fossil fuel. The consequences
of failing to meet the challenge of developing alternative energy
sources are terrible to contemplate, let alone dealing with the
side effects of pollution, global warming, and the loss of carbon-based
feedstock for countless processes.
