#071 Solar To The Rescue?

This week I am delighted to welcome back Ugo Bardi to the show. Ugo is Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Florence, and the man behind the Cassandras Legacy blog, where he writes about resource depletion, climate change, and renewable energy amongst other things. We discuss the recent drop in global C02 emissions and what it means for our global economic system, the hopes for a soft landing post peak-oil and coal, solar panels as our great saviour, and his thoughts on the likelihood of global demographic decline.You can find Ugo’s blog here:http://cassandralegacy.blogspot.co.uk/The music on this episode was: 'The Order of the Pharaonic Jesters' by Sun Ra and his Arkestra'Luce Cannon ' by White Isles
