This course, The Future of Energy, is designed to start you on a new career path towards becoming an Energy Futurist or just out of interest, for journalists, economists, politicians, energy advisors government advisors and writers. It will provide you with the knowledge to analyse and understand how energy systems can be measured, allowing you to join a unique but relatively small number of specialists.

The course is split into videos and will cover topics such as resource expiration and the exponential problem, EROIE and the dominance of oil based fuels, potential solutions to the loss of oil, implications of failing to find a solution, behavioural solutions, climate change, how Africa might help change the world, and why the media is not highlighting the coming oil crisis.

It will challenge many of your long-held beliefs, such as the understanding of exponential growth, and will look at subjects such as Net Energy which is based upon Energy Return on Investment of Energy. It will also show you how difficult it is to replace fossil fuels and what is required to do so, over the next 50 years just with oil.

The course will provide you with 3 types of energy economies, each with a different slant, representing potential models of future development. It is useful for our “Energy from Outer Space course”, but is not a pre-requisite.

If you are interested in shaping the future long into the second half of the 21st century, this course will help you to become a real Energy Futurist with potential of better earnings via writing and blogging about the future of energy. Private tutoring is available, contact John Clarkson the course tutor.
