Sources of renewable energy have a major role to play, but we can’t rely on technology and "business as usual" strategies to solve our issues. In the two most recent episodes of our Power podcast <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=3235e6c812&e=229f6020b9> , Rob, Melody, and I discuss why our global polycrisis will require tradeoffs, difficult decisions, and lowering our expectations. <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=e01c6a7c68&e=229f6020b9> As the exploitation of fossil fuels powered phenomenal growth in population and consumption, major problems began to emerge. And at times our "solutions" only generated more problems. In the sixth episode <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=1fcfd8c11b&e=229f6020b9> , we explain the difference between problems and dilemmas, and discuss what it will take to escape our current climate dilemma. <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=a915a08f07&e=229f6020b9> There are several theories and resources we can use to guide us in the difficult decision-making process our society will inevitably need to endure in the coming decades. In the seventh episode <https://postcarbon.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=311db31977054c5ef58219392&id=bbead189b1&e=229f6020b9> , we cover heavy topics like the sixth mass extinction and societal collapse, but also how we can use the adaptive cycle, resilience theory, prudent predator theory, and the optimum power principle to help humanity step back from the edge.
