The energy payback time of photovoltaic (PV) cells has been a contentious issue for more than a decade. Is solar PV really an ‘energy sink’? Bankier and Gale review the research.
As the worldwide oil supply and demands tightens however, the need for timely accurate production statistics becomes increasing important— so much so that at some point, timely and detailed knowledge of world energy supplies may become a matter of critical importance.
If energy sustainability and security fail, the primary human development goals cannot be achieved. We recognize the special responsibility of the science and engineering community to help implement transitions to sustainable and secure energy systems.
The United States’s focus on the middle east, al-Qaida and terrorism is also a surrogate for long-term strategic competition with China for the world’s oil resources.
This year’s world grain harvest is projected to fall short of consumption by 61 million tons, marking the sixth time in the last seven years that production has failed to satisfy demand.
