Population & Energy - the Forgotten Fundamentals

Arithmetic, Population, and Energy

"Dr. Albert Bartlett"

In America growth is seen as American as the flag and apple pie. But there is trouble in paradise. The flag that flies for growth is a noose and the apple pie of expansion is laced with cyanide. But it's not just America that has this unhealthy relationship with growth it's the majority of the world and its economies. As our populations, economies, and resources use grow exponentially, so do our environmental problems and the potential for collapse of the earth's ability to sustain human life. Growth as we know it cannot continue.
