Aerotropolis: "Lindsay and Kasarda dismiss the idea that air travel should be curtailed, due to concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, as fatal for economic growth. Similarly, fears about peak oil are countered by the prospect of synthetic fuels. If the oil really does stop flowing, then they believe electrification of cars will allow reserves to be prioritised for aircraft."
The New North: "In 40 years' time, global warming will have transformed the planet. Despite technological advances and a growing diversity of energy sources, including renewables and nuclear, the world will still rely heavily on fossil fuels. China is currently building two coal-fired power stations a week, 'equivalent to adding the entire UK power grid every year.' Shockingly, coal will become the world's primary energy resource, with demand tripling by 2050."
