Petroleum engineers and earth scientists involved with resource mining face now a different world in which the public and investors demand that we demonstrate continually our stewardship of the earth systems we impact.  They also want us to be efficient and profitable with less investment.  The public is confused about what it takes to deliver the energy and resources they want and what are the global consequences of the giant power and mass flows we generate.  The public in developed countries wants to have “clean energy” but doesn’t want to change their lifestyles that are incompatible with the clean world they desire.  The public in developing countries wants to be just like their rich cousins, not recognizing that the planet is already too small to accommodate all our wants.  So how to educate the resource engineers to educate others? How to cope with climate change, and teach ourselves and others that less of everything in the developed countries is the only possible path forward?
