A post-carbon world could be our opportunity to so better\u2014and make the difficult transition much harder to swallow.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the message of Alice Friedemann on this week\u2019s episode, author of\u00a0When Trucks Stop Running: Energy and the Future of Transportation<\/em>. The transition is coming, perhaps collapse is coming, and if the world as we know it is going to change we might as well make the most of it. She worries we won\u2019t be given the opportunity due to all the misinformation flying around, and gives a cutting analysis of how the climate change conversation is distracting from many other dangerous, concurrent such as biodiversity loss and water scarcity.<\/p>\n

For Alice, the big problem is the energy crisis. She explains how oil prices can precipitate nation state collapse, with high oil prices driving 11 of the past 12 recessions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
