Sunday night Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon laid out the Speculist Manifesto. What is the shocking truth about the future that the mainstream media and the politicians aren’t telling you?

What is at stake? What can we learn by studying possibilities and scenarios? And why do we Speculists spend time blogging and podcasting about this stuff? Do we have a contribution to make?

    I thought of a series of shows for FastForward radio, I think would sell lots of tickets. A direct confrontation “The Speculist vs. Doomsday”…one show at a time, to take on the doomsday of the week and dismantle it, as the people stand by and cheer…and the dark cloud disapates.

    Fusion Report 06 May 008

  • Phil Bowermaster

    Thanks, M. Fusion is one way the energy problem can be resolved. Others would include (off the top of my head):

    Nuclear Fission
    Solar
    Solar Thermal
    Ethanol — from switchgrass, cornstalks, etc.
    Ethanol — from waste
    Methanol — from coal
    Synthfuel — from coal
    Synthfuel — from shale
    Synthfuel — from tar sands
    Biodiesel — from waste
    Biodiesel — from algae

    Fusion and solar (which of course is just another variation on fusion) are the long-term answers. The others may help us get there.

    This is why I don’t lose sleep over Peak Oil. If there had never been any oil, we would have industrialized using coal and today would probably be using serious 10th-generation nuclear fission or possibly even fusion. There’s plenty of energy to be tapped. The end of oil is not the end of civilization.
