The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

MUSE

All natural and technological

Processes proceed in such

a way that the availability of the

remaining energy decreases

In all energy exchanges if no energy

enters or leaves an isolated system

the entropy of that system increases

Energy continuously flows from being

concentrated to becoming dispersed

spread out wasted and useless

New energy cannot be

created and high-grade

energy is being destroyed

An economy based on endless

growth is unsustainable

Unsustainable

The fundamental laws of

thermodynamics will place fixed

limits on technological innovation

and human advancement

In an isolated system the entropy

can only increase

A species set on endless

growth is unsustainable
