Opening May 15th
NOTICE - ENERGY SOBRIETY
It is time to stop assuming that resources are abundant, inexhaustible, and free when they have become scarce and expensive. Scarce because they are increasingly less accessible and concentrated. Expensive, firstly because the capital and labor required to their extraction have a cost that we are constantly seeking to reduce through technological acceleration and decline in social protections, and secondly, because of their scarcity it is becoming increasingly expensive to exploit them.
