Seem suprising that I ask that? Well we do see it all over the media that the climate is shot to pieces. Every day we have a fuel crisis where it's either too expensive or we haven't got any left. Solutions that get proposed seem to frighten more than put anyone's mind at rest (try Chernobyl). Amongst that scaremongering are there and facts and figures that let us work out where we actually are with this?
OK, the bad news is that by 2056 there will be no fossil fuels left. The oil wells will be dry by the middle of the century. This is not good news, because whilst it may not effect us, the generations that follow are going to want heat and light and warmth and energy to do all of the things we take for granted today. What is their option going to be?
A famous Scottish philosopher confidently stated that we'll have all the oil we need for ever. Problem is that he hasn't been alive for over two hundred years. His name was David Hume, and while he might have been right about a lot of things, he didn't live in the world we live in today which is so highly dependent on fossil fuels.
But if you really need proof that the world has an energy problem, just take a look at all the wars that have essentially been fought over this very problem. Oh, make no mistake about it. All that hubbub in the Middle East is about one thing and one thing onlyoil. And the US knows that it's days are numbered as far as relying on other sources for oil. As a result, we're in bit of a panic mode right now.
Renewable energy starts to look like our only hope, the direction we should be looking in. If not, what are our options? A return to the dark ages? Eventually we'd even run out of wood for fires, and our lifestyles have not really evolved to cope with that.
