Energy Sustainability Pollution concerns Alternatives to fossil fuels Energy efficiency ... Public awareness of interrelated energy goals Living in One World Chapter 6. Energy Sustainability Responding to the challenges of sustainability requires basic resources; technologies and the know-how to use them; finance and the capacity to mobilise it for the purpose intended; awareness of the relevant issues and willingness to address them; management and institutional capacities to resolve the problems and achieve the stated goals. In the field of energy supply and use the basic building blocks for optimism about the longer-term future exist, for the following reasons: The fossil fuel resource base, in geological terms, is immense for coal and adequate for many decades for oil and natural gas. Our world has options on how much of the fossil fuel resource base we want to use. Carbon dioxide emitted by burning fossil fuels can be reduced, recaptured and stored, using technologies that already exist. Exercising these options, especially by carbon sequestration, would permit more fossil fuel to be used without potentially dangerous consequences. Some methane emitted from fossil fuels can also be prevented from reaching the atmosphere. While nuclear power as a significant source of reliable electricity production, with zero greenhouse gas emissions, has run into serious difficulties because of concerns about operational safety, waste disposal, and proliferation, greater open-mindedness on future options would focus on a range of possibilities – from the use of thorium (but there are doubts about the economics and need to use thorium for as long as substantial quantities of uranium remain), to fundamentally different processes (such as the pebble-bed modular reactor now under development in South Africa) and smaller-scale plants that can be produced serially and at much lower unit cost.

Synopsis Search Oil Depletion Economic Theory ... Systems DIE OFF "If a path to the better there be, it begins with a full look at the worst." Thomas Hardy Petroleum geologists have known for 50 years that global oil production would "peak" and begin its inevitable decline within a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no renewable energy systems have the potential to generate more than a tiny fraction of the power now being generated by fossil fuels. In short, the end of oil signals the end of civilization, as we know it. Read the entire synopsis now!

Home University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Sustainability Coalition Energy Task Group Conveners: Ray DuBose and Ralph Taylor Mission Statement: The mission of The Energy Sustainability Task Group is to exhibit a commitment to sound energy management by supporting adoption of best practices for energy efficiency across campus. Overview/Issues: Energy issues relate to environment, economics, and efficiency. Some issues overlap with Green Buildings, for instance the Energy Star Buildings Program, sponsored by US EPA. Both groups are jointly gathering information and laying groundwork for possible partnership with EPA in the Energy Star Building Program. Progress to Date: With the support of the ESTG, two members, Ray DuBose and Bill Lowery, were instrumental in submitting an application under the EPA Energy Star program for Combined Heating and Power (CHP). As a result, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has been selected to receive a certificate for its Cogeneration Facility, for pollution prevention and low emissions. The award will be presented at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., on March 21, 2000. We are proud of this award on a first-time application, as recognition of exemplary energy practices already in place. Goals: The Energy Sustainability Task Group is currently setting goals, to help guide the group's efforts in having a positive impact at UNC with regard to energy issues.
