This program covers hydrocarbon and renewable energy, transportation, and sustainability in the post-virus era, with implications for business or industry. This program works for automotive, chemicals, coal, electric utilities, energy, engineering, equipment, manufacturing, natural gas, petroleum, transportation, and general business.

This program is the story about how farmers are using less land, water, fertilizer, and pesticide to feed the world's billions. It discusses nitrogen fertilizer, pesticides, meat production, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, energy use, GMO crops, organic food, and other challenging topics. This program works for agriculture and food industry clients.

This program presents about resource and energy abundance in modern society, while dispelling fears of resource depletion. This program works for cement, coal, construction, materials, metals, and mining clients.

Our modern society is blessed with an abundance of raw material and energy resources. While some warn that natural resources are finite and being exhausted, the opposite is true. Today we have the greatest access to resources in history. Raw materials are natural, but resources, such as refined metal or fuel, are created by people. The level of human technology overwhelmingly determines the availability of resources, not the amount of raw material in the ground. With no end to the rising level of human technology, global material and energy resources will, for all practical purposes, never run out.

This program discusses environmental concerns about overpopulation, pollution, climate change, and resource depletion, but points out that things are getting better all the time in most parts of the world. Life spans, incomes, leisure time, and freedom are increasing. Famine, infant mortality, and disease are disappearing. People have increasing access to water and improved sanitation. Modern agriculture is a modern miracle. Agricultural productivity continues to rise, population growth is lessening, and people in developed nations eat better than kings of old. Air and water pollution is declining in wealthy nations and developing nations are moving toward improving their environments. And no, humans are not causing dangerous global warming.

This program is an upbeat message for business, university, and governmental leaders and will be customized for each particular group and event.

The Future of US Energy
This program presents on the miracle of surging US energy.

This program works for automotive, chemicals, coal, electric utilities, energy, engineering, natural gas, petroleum, transportation, and general business.

Agriculture: Miracles and Misconceptions
This program is the story about how farmers are using less land, water, fertilizer, and pesticide to feed the world's billions. It discusses nitrogen fertilizer, pesticides, meat production, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, GMO crops, organic food, and many other challenging topics. This program works for agriculture and food industry clients.

Miracles in Energy
Human energy consumption is up 26 times since 1800. We live in a golden age of low-cost energy. Yet energy is one of the least understood aspects of our modern society. Is energy use polluting our planet? Is energy use causing dangerous global warming? Are we running out of hydrocarbon fuels? Learn why our current golden age of energy will continue.

Peak Agricultural Land
Modern agriculture has been remarkably successful. From 1961 to 2013, world population more than doubled from 3.1 billion to 7.2 billion. But global agricultural production more than tripled. Not only the quality of food, but the quality and variety of food is much better than in past ages. Indeed, Americans eat better than the kings of old. However, environmental groups decry intensive farming, and the farmer's use of water, land, fertilizer, and pesticides, branding modern agriculture as unsustainable. But instead, trends show that modern agriculture is producing more output, of higher quality, and with greater variety of products than ever before. And farmers are doing this using less land, less water, less pesticide, and less fertilizer.

Transportation -- Powered by Modern Energy
Automobiles, trucks, trains, ships, and aircraft are powered by modern fuels. Global exports are up 1,800 times in the last 115 years. Each day, more than 100 million tons of freight are transported throughout the world. A celebration of modern transportation, with challenging observations on modern fuels and sustainability.
