New Energy and Tomorrow
Hi, everyone! It’s been a while, huh? I’ve decided to start writing about things that catch my eye daily on the internet.
I really care about the earth and feel like it should be every person’s responsibility to try and use less resources, to reuse products like plastic bags as small trashcan bags, to opt out of even receiving a bag at places like Border’s, where environmental consciousness has become a public item itself. Reusable shopping bags, however, are a rare sight. I would love to see people using those bags but does this mean the production of plastic bags are lessening elsewhere? Truly the effort for environmental caring is local, national, and global. It’s as much an individual responsibility as it is corporate.
Oil is slated to run out between the years 2036 and 2050. The race for a new energy is on and in some cases, has already successfully replaced oil and coal with elements that will forever be available on earth: sunlight, wind, water, even drilling down to the earth’s hottest rocks for heat to turn turbines.
In it’s article, Wired Science has covered ten companies using a variety of methods to produce electricity. It’s only a matter of time before the current companies switch over to the more reliable, less expensive sources. This means that the world could run out of oil much slower, if its biggest consumer - America - wholly switches to the cheaper energy sources. Third world countries would be left with their own resources and thus economies would begin to balance more in favor of less poverty. The glaring negative is monetary and temporary.
