Citizen Science Podcast

If energy from fossil fuels are a limited resource and are environmentally problematic, what alternatives do we have? Can wind, solar, hydroelectric and geothermal sources begin to replace coal and petroleum? What kind of life style can we live if we rely on these? Will we all have to move to a commune and compost and play in drum circles in order to thrive  as a community? Brian and Dr. McCain tackle these questions this week on the podcast.    Shownotes Map of Solar Farms in Texas  Map US Wind Farms  Georgetown Texas  US Energy Information Administration  West Wing Alternative Energy Summit (2004) How a solar cell works.
