Darkness Ahead-The Quest For Sustainable Power
A looming danger is ahead, darkness everywhere, no electricity, no oil. What happens to us when the oil runs out? Can you imagine nothing to fuel our cars, airplanes, tractors, a decline in farming, a decline in food production? The future seems gloomy, everybody’s predicting that humanity itself will fall into decline. The richer countries siphoning off crops from third world countries to create bio-fuel; the third world countries slowly fading into hunger. We need to find sustainable power and we need it fast; our very existence depends upon it.
Mountain Living Near The Glaciers
As people living in alpine areas throughout the world have noticed, the glaciers are melting. They have, in fact, been melting at a much slower rate for many centuries. It was not, however, until the industrial revolution that the pace of melting began to increase. From glaciers with a long recorded history, a record of melting traces the beginnings of increased melting to about 1750 when the first industrial coal-driven applications were being devised half a world away.
The Wind – A Massive Source Of Sustainable Energy
With so much talk about environmental damage, dwindling fossil fuels and sky rocketing oil and energy prices, it is now clear that we must look for alternative energy resources that will be able to supply our endless needs, without the possibility of it being exhausted.
