What do we do when we've used it all up?

Kenneth Boulding famously said that anyone who believes that expansion/growth can go on forever is either a madman or an economist. Sadly, and perplexingly, so may people cling onto the idea that the very form of our economy that is creating the crises we now face will provide the solution to the problem.

The writings published online in Mother Pelican bring some much needed sanity to the debate.

Patzek shows us that we need to think sensibly about our finite planetary energy sources, as not all are resources.

Now what we do with finite sources matters!
