As gas prices begin to climb (must be an election year), everyone will talk about what we can do to bring prices down. That's the wrong goal. Here's what you need to understand about energy and the economy in a short 30 minute film.
Don't let the size of reserves fool you either - there will be a lot of fossil fuels for many years to come. The problem is we can't produce as much as we consume, and the cost of burning more is too great. Supply and demand is driving the price and will continue to drive it higher for the foreseeable future.
So, the solution isn't to burn more, it's to find a way to use less. The invisible hand of the market is telling us, "Dust off your bike."
