Future Imperative

What if technology were being developed that could enhance your mind or body to extraordinary or even superhuman levels -- and some of these tools were already here? Wouldn't you be curious?

Actually, some are here. But human enhancement is an incredibly broad and compartmentalized field. We’re often unaware of what’s right next door. This site reviews resources and ideas from across the field and makes it easy for readers to find exactly the information they're most interested in.

Name:

The future is coming fast, and it's no longer possible to ignore how rapidly the world is changing. As the old order changes -- or more frequently crumbles altogether -- I offer a perspective on how we can transform ourselves in turn... for the better. Nothing on this site is intended as legal, financial or medical advice. Indeed, much of what I discuss amounts to possibilities rather than certainties, in an ever-changing present and an ever-uncertain future.

'Keep Our Fuel Mix Diverse' -- A Look at U.S. Energy Sources, State by State

Just run your cursor over this map, and see what mix of power sources each U.S. state uses, broken by their percentages. Who knew Vermont only used fossil fuels for 0.1% of its energy, or that it used such an enormous amount of nuclear power?

An interesting glimpse into the stresses each of these places will face in the next few years in the face of oil production 'peaking,' coal and natural gas running increasingly short, and some rivers partially drying up from global warming. And an even more interesting glimpse if you happen to live in one of them.
