All energy could be renewable by 2030
By: Ryan Fleming
Hopefully this news isn’t a big shock to anyone, but fossil fuels–which currently make up 80-percent of all the world’s energy supply—are running out, and at the current rate of consumption, the world will hit a cataclysmic energy crisis within most
of our lifetimes. When that happens, the world will quickly fall apart, wars
will be fought over the smallest surpluses, our technology will be pushed back
centuries, dogs and cats will live together, etc., etc. In short, it would be
bad. Very very bad.
But that doesn’t
mean we should all begin stocking up on our ammo and sharpening our knives just
yet. The grim future predicted by many, where even starting a gas guzzling V8
car would be ruinous to all but the richest people in the world, can be
avoided, or at the very least slowed significantly.
A new study
published in the Energy Policy Journal and recounted by Physorg.com, claims that with a
concerted global effort, all energy could come from affordable and 100-percent
renewable energy sources by the year 2030. We would also be able to continue to
provide renewable and low pollution energy indefinitely.
