The biggest challenge coming our way in the future, what with COP 26 and all, has to be climate change and, in my view, even more important is developing a source of alternative energy. Fossil fuels, it has been agreed, are dirty and are not good for the air, the environment, and the human body. However, what can be done about it? It just so happened that with the advent of fossil fuel technology, gasoline engines, and coal-powered machinery, useful methods of transportation, construction, and living became more efficient, more streamlined, and more powerful than ever before. It took the creative minds of every-intelligent men to take their discoveries and invent these items, probably never thinking that they would ever be harmful and make things more difficult and inefficient in the long run. But it has come to be.
What, then, does it take to rise above the current obstacle to reach beyond the dirtiness of fossil fuels? It will take similar, motivated, as powerful and inventive men like those in yesteryear to come along and really think deeply and become even more inventive and creative to come up with the next true form of alternative energy. I know that there are such men working on this very mission right now, on their way to developing more efficient and useful forms of alternative energy such as wave, solar, and biomass power, There are groups working on nuclear fusion, as opposed to nuclear fission, and many are working on safer forms of nuclear energy.
It may come soon, it may come later, it may be through tedious inventive tinkering or may even come by accident, but the time for alternative energy has come. I'm sure it will come, eventually, and will be a very bright spot in world that otherwise could remain very bleak indeed.
