'Till Your Well Runs Dry!
We are pumping oil from our wells at an every increasing rate. The world isn't going anywhere without fuel and energy and we use more and more fuel every day. We all use fuel to produce the energy that moves our cars, heats and cools our homes, and provides all of the comforts offered by modern conveniences. We use a LOT of oil.
The big problem is that the fuels that are now being used to provide that energy that we all need every minute of every day will not last forever. Sooner rather than later, it will be gone. It takes millions of years for crude oil to form deep inside the earth. There certainly won't be any more formed in our lifetimes, or even in the lifetimes of our children, their children, or their children — for a few million more years. We can and WILL run out of the fuel that provides the power that drives modern societies. So what do we do? We need to find and harness different energy sources. And preferably these new energy sources will be renewable; that is using them will not deplete the amount of energy available.
Some renewable energy sources that are being discussed, researched, and developed today are wind power (the wind will always blow), solar power (the sun will always shine), and water power (the tides will continue to roll in, and rain will continue to fall). The wind, the sun, and water are all renewable sources of energy.
Power derived from burning fossil fuel is only one of many energy alternatives. Burning fossil fuels may be the easiest way to produce energy, but it isn't the only way. Wel need to invest money and brainpower to develop the fuels that will produce the energy to power the world in the future, and do it before our wells run dry.
