Should we be more worried about not having enough, or not having the right kind of energy? Energies like coal, gas and uranium are found only in a few places in the world and they require huge military investment to secure them. Distributive energies are everywhere in the world. The sun shines all over the world every day, and the wind blows. We have enough distributed renewable green energy to provide for our species until kingdom come.
Where does the main responsibility lie for cutting carbon: with consumers, business or government? We need political mobilisation. We need to have the narrative spread and we need to engage every community with business, society and government to make this happen.

I'm a Futurist on the journey from Ego to Eco, author of 5 books (see below), and a globe-trotting keynote speaker on media, social technologies, communications and - as of late 2011 - 'Green Futures'. I am currently looking at sustainable future scenarios, biosphere-like economics and what I like to call 'ecotalism' (or capitalism 2.0...?) as well as at renewable and networked energy and the idea of possibly adapting internet, networked-society principles to the world's urgent climate and environment issues.
