Tag: Energy crisis

Over 80% of the world's energy supply still comes from fossil fuels, a finite resource nearing depletion, forcing humanity to look for sustainable alternatives. While solar, wind, and other renewables are immediate solutions, the true "last resort for energy" for civilization lies in technologies capable of providing power on a truly global and long-term scale. These include harnessing the Earth's internal heat and replicating the energy production of stars through nuclear fusion.

A joint NASA and NOAA study found that Earth's energy imbalance approximately doubled between 2005 and 2019, accelerating the pace of climate change. This phenomenon, along with personal metabolic dysregulation and global resource disparities, highlights the critical nature of what the consequences of energy imbalance are across different scales.
