The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

Muse

7

All natural and technological processes

Proceed in such a way that the availability

Of the remaining energy decreasesIn 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

Uns′ uns' you're 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
