Although it can also sound like one of those conditions to catch all that media generates around to make some sensational story sound, it is time we admitted to us we have developed a serious drug addiction.
What exactly does it mean? Let's start with defining drug addiction of coal as a physical dependence on fossil fuels. Since electricity is generated by coal burning power plants to gasoline that we can put in our cars we would be difficult now live without coal.
Life was not always this way. The earliest people in the world knew how to live without fire. Medieval water wheel powered a mill and provided irrigation while the animals pulled plows. Rudolf Diesel unexpected patents his internal combustion engine until 1894 — just a little over a century ago.
Not suggesting that we return to ox carts, but Judging from the size of our current Carbon Footprint, there is a need for very real devoted our use of fossil fuels before the Earth finite quantities of coal, oil and natural gas are exhausted.
This right. According to several studies   , at a rate we can use these non-renewable natural resources, the predicted oil reserves will be near the end point between 2050 and 2075. What more is expected to last only till 2166, that the supply of natural gas and can be no more carbon by 2230.
By far the largest use of fossil fuels to generate energy. Although some two billion people continue to live without electricity, more than two-thirds of primary fuel consumed in the world are used for its production.
United States, China and Russia are the biggest addicts. Together consume 41% of all energy generated by coal. Clearly if the newly industrialised and developing countries add to the consumption of fossil fuel is exhausted even faster.
What I do to prevent drug addiction, carbon scale macro? For one, we can our Governments to look beyond coal   and oil. Alternative energy sources-coal, particularly sustainable already such as wind, solar, hydro and geo thermal, must be developed now, if humanity the future electricity needs must be met.
In addition, each of us can start weaning yourself off of coal, too. Take plastic, for example. Made from petrochemical products, show virtually everywhere in our lives. We cannot completely rid us of them, but we moderate our use through recycling, automated and again.
We can also run walking and bicycling instead of driving cars rowerowa gas-guzzling. We need to take steps to reduce energy consumption in our homes and businesses. And as in any twelve-step groupcan we start from adopting as dependent we are carbon and stop denying Our addiction.
