future prosperity. It weaves together a number of seemingly disparate topics into a single story, discussing the ECONOMY, ENERGY and the ENVIRONMENT. Martenson does a very good job of explaining rather ‘complex’ subjects in a very understandable way. Each session of the course, which will be held on four consecutive Thursday evenings, will involve a video presentation followed by Q & A and discussion of items of interest.

o Understand why our economic system is having difficulties.
o Know the relationship of fossil fuels to your future prosperity.
o Put environmental and climate change issues in perspective.
MAIN LEARNING POINTS

o The exponential growth function and how it relates to your life.
o The role energy plays in our quality of life.
o Dealing with the issues facing us in the next twenty years.

Cooper Kessel has been providing energy efficient building design and construction in the Sonora area since 1972. For the past few years, he has become increasingly concerned about the strain in our economic system, which eventually led him to the research and presentation of Chris Martenson, called “The Crash Course.” Cooper has always practiced what he “preaches” and now, in this local presentation of “The Crash Course,” he will share his own experiences to date in preparing for an unpredictable future, as well as assisting everyone’s understanding of the Martenson analyses.
