The problems

  • A finite amount of non-renewable energy sources.
  • The negative impact retrieving and using non-renewable energy sources has on the environment.
  • Global population growth resulting in increased energy demands

Some government big wigs seem content to leave things as they are, continuing down a suicidal path while crossing their fingers that a future generation will solve all the current problems.

In short, the time to act is now. Actually the time to act was thirty years ago when it first became apparent to anyone with the ability to add and subtract that the current global model was unsustainable.

It is a fact that taking more from your bank account than you put in each month will lead to your despair. The same is true of the Earth’s resources. Things left as they are, the world population will grow to unsustainable levels until famine and disease decrease the population, forcing the human race to live within its collective means.

So, addressing the problems listed above, foremost is finding
a renewable source of energy. In fact solving that one problem effectively solves the others by making them moot. With it, we can develop the means to feed and cloth an increasing population, stop polluting our atmosphere and get the human species moving in a sustainable direction.

It’s simple, we either work together and solve this problem, or wait for
Mother Nature to start culling the herd.
