What will we do when we run out of fossil fuel? It might not happen tomorrow or the next year, or even in the next decade, but it certainly is looming on the horizon. We can't just talk about doing something about the energy crisis - we need to actually find ways that will let us stop polluting the Earth and depleting our natural resources. And we need to do something about it right now, not sometime in the future.
Instead of playing the blame game, we should concentrate our efforts more productively. In truth, many countries are trying to do something about it, but as a whole, we need to do more. There are so many different ways that we can solve the world's energy crisis, if we would simply stop fighting amongst ourselves and each other and do something about it.
The world's response to the crisis in Haiti is a good example of what we can do. Massive earthquakes recently devastated much of this small island nation. Supplies, manpower and money are being pumped into Haiti by many different countries, and all of this aid is desperately needed by Haiti to recover from the disaster. Haiti is the most recent occurrence, but countries frequently come together and pitch in after a major disaster.
What about the major disaster that is already going on across the globe? This isn't even a natural disaster, but one of our own making. If we all pitched in to solve this crisis like we do in so many other times of crisis, then this problem could easily be solved, and many of the effects of global warming might be slowed or stopped.
There are a variety of things we can do to halt the world's energy crisis. Many renewable energy sources are abundant, including geothermal, solar and wind, to name a few. There are many proven ways to safely and efficiently power vehicles without needing to use any fossil fuels. Biodiesel has been used for more than a century, but hydrogen fuel cells, electricity and even compressed air can also be used.
Solar and wind farms are appearing all over the globe, and India is converting human waste into fuel used to power electrical plants. Clearly, some people and some countries are working on the problem.
Even individual people are trying to do their part. Recycling has become more prominent. The use of residential renewable energy, like wind and solar are being put in wider usage. We are conserving energy by cutting down on water usage, turning lights and appliances off by unplugging them instead of just turning them off. People are buying more energy efficient appliances, like tankless hot water heaters. Many are also switching from regular light bulbs to compact fluorescent lights instead.
The question is, are these efforts enough to solve the global energy crisis? Not yet, but we would have a good start if alternative fuel vehicles were cheaper, if every home used renewable energy, and if recycling was mandatory everywhere. If we spend more money on research and development of alternative energy sources, as well as more widely utilizing the sources we already have, then yes, the world's energy crisis can be solved.
