Fossil Endgame Blog Series

The fossil fuel age is coming to an end on planet Earth. Most people cannot imagine it at the moment, but it is inevitable. Our blog series aims to spread this idea and turn it into a (quickly) self-fulfilling prophecy. By sharing new ideas and allowing people to look over the (fossil age) horizon we generate excitement and appetite for what lies beyond, as well as a better understanding of the strategic questions on the way there.
