Two Energy Futures : Which will you choose

This website shows you two possible futures.

The first, fossil-fuelled future is the one we're heading for if we carry on down our current energy path. This is the future that current government policies and business practices will take us to, according to mainstream energy experts. This is a future of runaway climate change and widespread human suffering.

In the second, cleaner and fairer future, we show you how it is possible to provide everyone on the planet with a high quality lifestyle, with access to education, medical care, efficient transport, comfortable homes, and entertainment, all powered by existing clean energy technologies.

This isn't the only possible safe future.

We're not pretending that we have all the correct answers! But this website aims to show that the world already has the technology to give everyone a good quality of life without needing coal, or tar sands, or gas fracking, or Arctic drilling; and more importantly, without tipping the world into irreversible climate disaster.

The real future will probably look different to both of the options presented on this website. But don't ever let anyone tell you that we "need" fossil fuels to power the world. We don't.
