Introduction:
- Definitions
o Exploit: utilizing a resource in an unfair or excessive way
- Context
o Population is increasing at unprecedented rates + QoL of significant numbers of people
rising too, taxing energy resources more due to its correlation with technology and
electrical use
80% of population will migrate to city areas
LDCs, e.g. Mexico City in Mexico, undergoing rapid industrialization
o Across the world, industries are tertiarising or shifting to higher-value processes that will
also use technology, e.g. machinisation of menial tasks today
o Energy resources are scarce limited supply. Trade-off = use energy for human needs or
save for future generations?
* no need for complicated context (e.g. no need to wax philosophical about human greed)
