The studies do not agree on everything but they do agree on this: Fossil fuels will remain the planet's No. 1 energy source through the 21st century, supplying 70% to 80% of the total by 2100, vs. about 90% today
Why Exxon Doesn't Care |
Makes sense. Necessity is the mother of invention I think the saying goes. If its not a crisis people won't do anything about it.
I think there has been some improvements as far as moving towards "greener" solutions but some of them like ethanol made from Corn actually pollute more than gas. The solution is that even if we were to invent an electric car, the electricity would come from a coal powered plant defeating the purpose. I think nuclear energy is a great solution, clean and efficient. England uses nuclear power stations, but the waste they produce is dangerous. If properly stored it would not cause any harm I think. That's just my two-cents.
