Natural-gas production has nearly doubled in the United States since 2010, and similar production booms are occurring in other countries. What are the advantages of natural gas over coal, along with its overall disadvantages as a sustainable energy source?

What factors are making solar energy increasingly cost efficient compared to fossil fuels, and what are additional potential benefits from the growing solar-power industry?

Aside from political actions, what events could interrupt oil supplies for highly industrialized nations that import a significant percentage of their fuel for transportation?

What are the long-term strategies advocated for reducing dependence on oil? Should markets or policy predominate in determining energy supply in the United States?

What reasonable action could you take that would have the largest impact in reducing your ecological footprint?

Explain the difference between debtor nations and creditor nations from an ecological-footprint perspective. What factors lead to uneven consumption?

Which single issue did the 2018 EPI identify as the leading global environmental health risk?
