Project Ideas

I find that I have trouble figuring out the exact direction that the Energy (Continuation) future should go without it risking overlapping with other energy futures. As I see it, the possible views of continuation are as follows: 1, continuing our fuel consumption until we run out, intersecting with the collapse future; or 2, finding a new resource that can be exploited in the way current fuels are, intersecting with the transformation to a degree. Of course, one could instead focus the effects of the continuation of our energy use habits, rather than trying to figure out the details of exactly how the energy use had continued. By that logic, the image of the future could be less focused on the actual fuel consumption, but rather focus on the destruction wrought upon the environment by our excessive and environmentally unfriendly energy use. This train of thought in turn inspired an idea for a futures project focusing on the technology necessary for people to survive and go about normal live in spite of the environmental degradation caused by our energy use. But I am not sure if this would end up being too far from the intended focus of the project.
