Mientras la atención del mundo se enfoca en los peligros de la exploración del petróleo, presentamos la charla de Richard Sears de principios de febrero del 2010.  Sears, un experto en el desarrollo de recursos energéticos, habla acerca del inevitable y necesario cambio que nos aleje del uso del petróleo.  Hacia... ¿qué?

Richard: Sears: Planeando el fin del petróleo

Energy systems have shifted over centuries from wood to coal to oil, and now oil’s share is steadily declining. Despite nearly 100 trillion gallons of oil remaining, history shows that new technologies and ideas—not resource depletion—drive these transitions. Just as the abalone creates a material far tougher than chalk from the same basic ingredient, future breakthroughs could reshape energy by rearranging molecules for greater efficiency. The Stone Age ended not for lack of stones, but because people invented something better.
