i was just in finland last week where we let a government discussion workshop on energy descent and how finland specifically could supply energy to their economy in mostly a low carbon way. And i also think that one thing that america certainly needs is a sense of community. It's been lost. A lot of it had to do without sourcing and down sizing and loss of family values. I worry that there is no leadership in the government level anywhere in the world that can do something like this. We make decisions based on economic growth and profits and investments. The more of these scenarios we have to plan for, there's a cost to preparing for those.
On this episode, we meet with legendary financial icon Kiril Sokoloff to take a bird’s eye view of the global energy/financial situation.
Why is the financial community so complacent about peak oil and the relationship between increasing energy scale and growth? Can we make predictions about the future by looking back at history?
Kiril shares his professional experiences with scenario planning, disruption, and investing as well as his passion for history and the practice of Buddhism to influence and inform decision making and life.
