The Sustainable Way or No Cars on the Highway

These days sustainable energy is a hot button topic because of climate change and global warming. Unfortunately, the urgency of the issue is not that well known to the public, and a lot of people assume we will be able to continue to thrive on the use of coal, oil and natural gas for centuries to come. This is most certainly not the case, and as the majority of scientists suggest, the end of these resources is a lot closer than most people think. If we do not begin implementing sustainable energy into the power grid now, we'll be in for a rude awakening when our fossil fuel reserves run out. Sustainable sources of energy need to be implemented in the transportation industry especially, as this industry is one of the highest produces of carbon dioxide emissions. Hybrid and electric vehicles are picking up in production, but possibly not fast enough. From an environmental standpoint, sustainable energy such as geothermal, solar, wind, and biomass - such as wood pellet fuels - have to be the way of the future. The destruction human civilization has caused on the environment is irreversible in many instances, and without more nature conscientious forms of energy, we will eventually destroy the planet beyond repair.
