Bridging the Gap: Alternatives to Petroleum

Raise the Hammer has written about energy issues rather extensively in our hammerblog, as well as writing reviews and conducting interviews (see the bottom of Part I for a list of links). As we wind up the hottest June on record, it seems a good time to take stock of the issue in a more coordinated manner.

This is Part 2 of a three part series on oil peak production and its implications for Hamilton’s future development. Part 1 provided an overview of the “peak oil” theory; Part 2 explores the unique properties of oil and the limitations of possible replacements; and Part 3 will examine what cities can do to plan and prepare for the future.
