Heinberg in National Geographic report on Aspen Forum
July 4, 2012
Post Carbon Fellow Richard Heinberg was quoted in this review of discussions on economic growth at the Aspen Forum.
From the article:
Addressing today’s relative cheapness of natural gas and the fracking industry that partially drives that, Richard Heinberg, a senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute, asked the audience, “Twenty years from now we’ll be looking at a dried up industry that blew away, leaving half a million new holes in the ground, ruined aquifers, and we’ll wonder if it was all worth it.” (Much of the crowd cheered.)
