Abstract :
This paper explores the issue of sustainable energy from a multi-flux perspective, and has shown clearly that some of the choices being vigorously pursued today, such as bio-fuels, may have significant limits on scalability. While a Bio-Fueled World does not seem to be sustainable, an Inorganically Fueled World, seems to have the potential to be able to scale to meet global needs, without in any way constraining global growth for the foreseeable future.
