Sustainability 102

It must be finals week.  Tests are quite popular right now.  Here is a warm-up quiz to get us in shape.  We are now a world leader in NG, NGL, and oil production, thanks in part to the development of new technologies such as horizontal drilling and fracking.  We hear statements like that every day in the news.  We hear that it produces many, many jobs.  Here is the quiz.

1. What does it mean to be a production leader?
2. What is the relationship between production and consumption?
3. What percentage of production is burned, creating waste heat?
4. Assuming that global warming exists: what is the relationship between production and global warming, if any?
5. How long will our production leadership last in years?
6. What will we do for energy when and if we ever stop being a production leader?
7. What, if any, is the relationship between production leadership and alternative energy sources?
8. What, if any, is the relationship between production leadership and food supply?
9. What, if any, is the relationship between production leadership and medical treatment of any kind including COTS medications?
