Sustainability and Future

A quantitative series on replacing fossil fuels with green electricity and green hydrogen — production, storage, and application.

The Role of Science in the Energy Debate # If we were guided by science, there would be a lot less hot air and more informed debate around energy. Nothing in society is possible without the availability of sufficient energy. Nothing. Energy is a fundamental prerequisite of life and represents a particularly important factor of everyday life.

Modern global food systems are controlled by multinational corporations and international financial institutions that prioritize profit over subsistence. Explore how trade, debt, and aid weaponize hunger.

The 'Green Revolution' promised to end hunger through high-yielding seeds and modernization. Instead, it concentrated land and wealth among elites while displacing millions of peasant farmers.

Famines are not inevitable natural disasters—they are engineered by political and economic systems. Explore how colonial cash crops created vulnerability and how societies that prioritize food security avoid famine.

Exploring how inequality, colonialism, and corporate control have engineered hunger despite global abundance. A critical examination of why the world's poor starve in a world of plenty.

Hunger is not caused by food scarcity or population explosion—it results from the concentrated control of food production resources by a wealthy elite. Explore how inequality fabricates artificial scarcity.

Five energy plans for Britain's sustainable future. From nuclear-heavy to renewable-heavy, each must add up to 48 kWh/d/p.

Wind and solar fluctuate wildly. Exploring grid stability through storage (pumped hydro, batteries, hydrogen) and demand management.

Nuclear fission offers high power density (1000 W/m²). Examining fusion potential and 'clean coal' limitations for sustainable energy.
