Reading one of the options for our sustainability class made me very optimistic about our future as I discovered that many companies digging, processing or funding such projects are putting the plug on their extraction of natural gases, oil sands and coal. What I’m concerned with is what are these individuals going to do next especially with the millions they’ve made from exiting the natural resources market?

Rockefeller and a dozen other companies have declared to phase out the use of fossil-fuels addressing to the natural resource consumption issue since it is non-renewable. This is expected to turn into a snowball effect causing many other companies to exit the market. However, as I asked before, what direction to these individuals plan on heading towards? I can only hope that they make use of their experience and knowledge of the market and industry to help innovate and develop other forms of energy. They may consider supporting technology advanced companies such as Tesla and fund their research or initiate their own projects and pursue a different source. It is up to people like us to envision this future and make it possible.
