As energy consumption and demand are going up, people need to find new means of becoming economically friendly. The Global demand for energy is said to increase by almost 36% between 2008-2035. As developing countries such as China and India are rising, these emerging economies are the reason for this increase. This is a drastic difference, as our resources are already depleting as it is. As we try to become more efficient, I really wonder if we are moving fast enough. As we can see from an Economist chart, it is just a progression of the same means of energy that we already use. Time and money needs to be spent on ways of finding new energy sources that aren’t damaging and detrimental as the ones we have used the last century. As we have seen from previous century’s, humans can live without all these extra powers, while I am not saying lets go back to the stone age, just that each one of us needs to be extremely mindful of what we use, so that we can use the least amount as possible.
