Abstract
Assuming we want to stop using fossil fuels, what are the options? Does Britain have “huge” renewable energy resources?
In this talk, I’ll express our current energy consumption in the same units as our maximum conceivable sustainable production, so we can see how the options add up.
Series This talk is part of the Wednesday Seminars - Department of Computer Science and Technology series.
