Energy: The Event Horizon

Join the Region at this momentous time for a wider, unorthodox perspective on energy, the economy and the environment. Buckle up to hear why energy is more than a commodity, why fossil fuels remain dominant and how Energy Return on Energy Invested lies at the very centre of our energy predicament, why scarcer alternative resources are not a solution to Peak Oil, and why global debt is a huge sustainability problem in an era of diminishing returns.

Speaker: Chris Jones

Chris is a Chartered Environmentalist and Chartered Engineer who has studied and shared his ideas on resource depletion for 20 years. He published an article on Oil Depletion in CIBSE Journal in 2010, suggesting that we would soon enter an age of limits. He has been interviewed by Radio 4.
