I’ve heard the distinguished climate scientist Ken Caldeira say that, sure, we should we looking at geoengineering and yes there may be some technical fixes but when you look at the costs, it’s almost always likely to be much cheaper to just reduce carbon emissions in the first place than to geoengineer. Spiritual growth: Tantra can help you to grow spiritually by helping you to connect with your inner wisdom and to experience the divine in all things. It can also help you to let go of attachment and to live in the present moment. Meditation: Tantric meditation is a way of quieting the mind and becoming more aware of the present moment. It can be done in a variety of ways, but often involves focusing on the breath or on a mantra. Yoga: Tantric yoga is a form of yoga that focuses on uniting the body, mind, and spirit. It often includes breathwork, meditation, and physical postures. Do you want to live consciously where every action is a choice a conscious decision of what you do what you feel, what you think. Or do you want to be swept out like a little boat in the ocean with big waves,

Minke de Vos teaches Tantra and Taoist Arts to women all over the world. This book mixes theory with a plethora of exercises and practices to get you understanding your feminine energy. The book covers all stages of life from puberty and youth through womanhood, pregnancy and to menopause. The book is based on the Taoist Traditions of the Yellow Emperor and the three female advisers who taught him all about the art of sexual energy and practice. The practices honour our natural feminine energy: to be receptive, soft, sensitive, intuitive and creative, and to use these qualities as a powerful tool to manifest our destiny. Minke teaches how to channel our natural sexual energy and to heal deep-rooted emotions, so that we are no longer controlled by our feelings and these don’t interfere in our sexual lives. There are many great books available that explore the concept of dark feminine energy. These books offer valuable insights into the power of the feminine principle and the ways in which it can be harnessed for personal growth and transformation.Rhodes, best known for his histories of the atomic bomb, here turns his attention to the history of energy sources and how humans have developed and transitioned between them. Beginning with wood, Rhodes documents the development and transition to coal, steam, whale oil and other "burning fluids", electricity, oil, nuclear energy, and renewable sources. Are you curious about dark feminine energy? It’s a powerful force that has been explored in literature and psychology for decades. In this section, we’ll explore the origins and history of dark feminine energy, as well as some psychological perspectives that shed light on its meaning and significance. Origins and History Audiobook. I cannot say enough about this. It is completely outstanding. When I saw that it was by Richard Rhodes, I couldn’t wait to read it. This is a comprehensive, well thought out and researched book on the history of energy conversion across the last 400 years and its overwhelming and undeniable benefit to the quality of human life and longevity.

I say that solar photovoltaics will form, for the majority of the world, the bulk of energy supply in fifty years – both electricity and other fuels that have been manufactured using solar energy. That’s an entirely beneficial transition both because solar will be cheap and because it is relatively easy to give people in poorer countries access to electricity that’s from PV — compared to setting up huge power stations and taking networks of electricity cables thousands of kilometres. Although still very much a minority view, I think it is a much less unconventional opinion than it was when I started writing the book in 2015. The text helps to keep our focus on risk management applications and forecasting problems that are arising or may arise in the field of renewable energy. By reading these contributions, one can easily understand all the major aspects associated with the energy production chain. These aspects include: However, he also points out that the the invention of the Haber-Bosch process in the first decades of the twentieth century enabled the world to convert fossil fuels into nitrogen-based agricultural fertiliser and he calls this geoengineering as well. The application of artificial fertiliser to fields expanded the total amount of energy from food that’s available to the planet’s inhabitants. In turn, that loosened the Malthusian constraints on the world’s population. Smil has shown that before the use of fossil fuels for such things as fertiliser energy availability per person was only a few kilowatt hours a day.Antinuclear activists, whose agendas originated in a misinformed neo-Malthusian foreboding of overpopulation (and a willingness at the margin to condemn millions of their fellow human beings to death from disease and starvation), may fairly be accused of disingenuousness in their successive against the safest, least polluting, least warming, and most reliable energy source humanity has yet devised. (p. 336) In modern times, the idea of dark feminine energy has been explored in literature and popular culture. Many books and movies feature female characters who embody this energy, using their power to challenge traditional gender roles and societal norms. For example, the character of Lisbeth Salander in Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is a prime example of a woman who embodies dark feminine energy. Psychological Perspectives

Smil’s Energy and Civilization: A History (2017) is your first choice. This is an extensively updated and expanded version of a book he wrote in 1994. It covers all of the major transitions in human history. Why do you think this book is useful, particularly if your argument is that actually that he underestimates the likely potential speed of change? Second, tantra is not for everyone. If you’re not comfortable with your body or with the idea of exploring your sexuality, then tantra may not be right for you. Whether you are interested in exploring the mythic feminine power of “fierce compassion” or learning more about the role of feminine energy in manifestation and the creative process, there is a book out there that can help you deepen your understanding and connection to this powerful force.I wanted to conclude by breaking the rules and talking briefly about a sixth text. This is not a book but a recent academic article. I’ve included it both because it is an absolutely superb piece of writing and also because it was written by a woman. All the rest of the works in this list are by men. That troubled me. Climate change already disproportionately affects women. In many places, for example, they have to travel further for water and for wood as a result of temperature and rainfall change. However the world of energy production and energy research, as well writing about energy, is wholly dominated by men. This has to change. Credit must be given to the narrator Jacques Guy, who has a wonderful voice and an astounding ability to relate the direct quotes with convincing accents to represent the original speaker’s voices. (He even captures the nuances between different English and Scots speakers.) Spiritual beliefs: Your existing spiritual beliefs may influence your choice of a tantra book. Some books approach tantra from a more traditional or religious perspective, while others take a secular or philosophical approach. Choose a book that aligns with your spiritual worldview. Contrary to popular belief, the ancient spiritual tradition of tantra isn’t all about sex. Tantra is in fact a way of understanding and experiencing the world that emphasises the interconnectedness of all things. Tantra teaches that the physical and the spiritual are not separate, but are two aspects of the same reality.

The Planet Remade is set against climate change but broadened to include bold and controversial proposals to manipulate the biosphere actively. Your final book is rather different again. This is The Planet Remade by Oliver Morton, published in 2015. This is a book largely about geoengineering. How is this relevant to the great energy transitions?From a psychological perspective, dark feminine energy can be seen as a manifestation of the unconscious mind. This energy represents aspects of the psyche that are often repressed or ignored, such as anger, aggression, and sexuality. By tapping into this energy, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world.
