Energy: The Greatest Challenge to the Human Condition in the 21st Century

Science Magazine devotes its entire February 9 issue (fee for download) to "Science and Technology for Sustainable Well-Being." The issue examines the need to move toward new sustainable sources of energy in the face of human-induced climate change, increasing worldwide energy demand, and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. According to John P. Holdren, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the magazine's publisher, "[n]othing is more important to the human condition in the 21st century than rising to this set of challenges."

The website also features a free podcast on the issue.
