Episode notes

The first category is heating. We've got to heat out our buildings and we've got to for our survival, especially in the Northern parts of the world. One of the things we're looking at in Finland is geothermal. And then the manufacturing, you have three categories and subcategories? Yes, sir.

On this episode, mining and geology expert Simon Michaux returns to give a preliminary framework for responses to the coming energy and material constraints described in the previous episode. This includes both practical thoughts for how to organize communities around resources and also a shift in mindset from short term to long-term and from competition to cooperation. How do we simultaneously lay out all of the biophysical constraints on the table so that we can begin preparing for and adapting to a changing future?
