Energy Revolution: Evolution or End of Humanity

Our only limited resource in life is time
Possible extinction events are around the corner and we need technology and a greater understanding of energy to overcome extinction. But fortunately, just around the corner too, will be the greatest revolution ever for humanity, where energy will become free and opportunities will open up everywhere.

Which will come first – solving our energy woes or the death of our humanity?
We are now in a race against time to hit the start line of an Energy Revolution – a race against one possible outcome where Earth chokes to death on pollution versus getting to the Energy Revolution and repairing the pollution we have created.

And will humankind evolve?
To survive we must evolve towards transhumanism simply to overcome the follies of our own doing.
