Consider
this:
At
present rates of global (largely US) oil consumption, it
is estimated that the planet's oil supply will begin
dwindling within the next twenty years, with a
corresponding increase in oil prices.
This
sequence of events could be accelerated by the
population increases and the industrialization of
developing and underdeveloped countries. The dependence
on oil as a resource is one of the factors contributing
to hostility towards the Middle East, where most of the
world's oil reserves are located.
The
energy crisis and escalation of East-West conflict could
be averted by a speedy transition to alternative energy
such as wind power, solar power and geothermal energy,
and the use of methanol-based fuel for automobiles.
These
questions are also pertinent:
-
how will jet planes (military and domestic) be fuelled
in an oil-less future?
-
will microwave energy be used to heat turbines for
generating electricity?
-
will the increased use of coal contribute to emissions
that accelerate global warming?
