Introduction
We have been so distracted by the need to create clean energy that we have lost sight of the real danger: Not having enough energy to power civilization, (as we've come to love it), into the very near future.
Un-renewable Energy Resources
Everyone has heard that oil is slated to dry up within a few more generations but it remains little known that coal is also on our planet's chopping block, but there is an enormous amount of Uranium, good for centuries to come. For graphs and figures goto: Unrenewable Natural Energy Resources
Global Population
The global population is increasing rapidly. How many people will there be by the year 2050? For graphs and figures goto: Global Population Trends.
Total Global Energy Consumption.
Americans use about 10 times as much energy per person as the Chinese but this is quickly changing. What will be the per capita energy requirement 42 years from now? For graphs and figures goto: Global Energy Consumption
Global Re-newable Energy Consumption
We have been generating renewable energy since aqua ducts and windmills were invented - we are still developing new methods. The more we can produce, the better it will be for civilization. For graphs and figures goto: Renewable Energy Resources
Time left per Un-renewable Energy Resource.
At present consumption with present methods of power generation, human beings have little more than a century before Mother Nature's energy reserves dry up. When we take into account the prospect of world populations increasing by 40% in the next 42 years and the ever increasing Chinese and Indian energy requirements, this may well be a huge over-estimation. For graphs and figures goto: Renewable Energy Resources
Financials
What is the most economical way to generate power? When we understand the costs of generating power we can see why we do it the way we do with very little consideration for the environment. For graphs and figures goto: How to fimance a new Global Energy Situation
Education on Energy for our future
Not wishing to create a global panic, political will has placed it's support - and our tax dollars - into subsidization of clean modes of power generation, but their efforts, as this section endeavors to demonstrate, will have the same effect as placing a Bandaid on a severed limb. We must encourage political will to stay focused on the real problem.
There are some measures we can take to buy us more time. What will the future bring, if we don't educate our children? Education on Energy for our future
Future Technologies
What new technologies will scientists bring in the foreseeable future? The real solution is, unfortunately, still in the realm of science fiction. This is certainly not the time for isolationist posturing. In the spirit of unconquerable human innovation, we encourage you, beseech you, to use this website to talk together, inform yourselves and start dreaming of the technology that will one day carry our species into our bright future Future technologies
Conclusion
We are all on this beautiful blue planet together - there isn't another one for many light years. We all face a very serious problem together and it is only together we will discover the solutions. Through the internet, we have been enlightened to the fact that human beings have more in common than we do differences. The internet is the medium that transcends all borders, all cultures, all skin colors. Here is the perfect opportunity for the whole human race to come together. It is not the time for isolationist posturing. In the spirit of unconquerable human innovation, we welcome you, beseech you, encourage you to use this website to talk together, inform yourselves and start dreaming of the technology that will one day carry our species into our bright future.
We, therefore, invite concerned individuals to explore and discuss this problem openly and hope that passionate, talented people and companies the world over will someday soon be inspired to develop a real solution to this looming specter.
