Civilization has been in the midst of a revolution which is accelerating technological performance and potential resource efficiency.

Today we can cost-effectively harness more than enough solar power to meet all the world's energy and water needs.

Research over the last quarter century suggests that, as a result of this trend, humanity now has the historically unprecedented option to provide genuine liberty and a high standard of living for all people on an ecologically sustainable basis.

The existence of such a profound possibility remains largely obscured and on the outer-most fringe of political-economic dialogue.

Given humanity’s enormous impact on the Earth’s natural systems, compounded by the prospect of our population doubling within the next fifty years, well-informed action concerning this unparalleled opportunity for comprehensive planetary success must take place now.
