The debate over how the Earth will continue to meet its energy needs in the coming centuries is the focus of this section.  As global citizens, we face a tremendous challenge to continue to produce the waste that we do, coupled with the harmful emissions the energy we burn causes.  There are no shortage of solutions to the global energy crisis and the "marketplace of ideas" is full of people ready to make their contributions to the debate offering what they think is the winning strategy.  We use this space to discuss and frame the  Energy Debate for our readers.
