Do the Math
		This series of worksheet calculations provides access to the energy dynamics facing our world in light of oil depletion. It is impossible to make sense of energy policy without doing the math. Rhetoric may help to focus attention on the challenges we face, but to discern between fact and fiction, junk science and honesty, thermodynamics and economics, do the math.
