DESCRIPTION:Like every society in the past\, modern society believes in fa
 iry tales. These include the inminent advent of the electric card\,  the j
 ust-around-the-corner hydrogen economy\, and the inconditional faith in no
 n-fossil fuel sources --be them renewable or nuclear--\, but also die-hard
  missunderstandings such as: \\"efficieny equals less consumption\\"\, or\
 , \\"the problem can be solved if we all do a little\\".  \n\nEnergy myths
  also include doomsday visions such as oil peak and conspiration theories\
 , and at the same time they spell out our faith in miracles (nuclear fusio
 n). Interestingly\, every one\, from the lay man to the shrewed politican 
 believes in one or another forms of this modern folcklore. \n\nIn this tal
 k\, Professor Vaclav Smil will apply his well know recipe of knowledge\, s
 kepticism and common sense\, to critically review some of these cherished 
 myths.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/842/
