The use of alternative energy
Finding and developing new sources of alternative energy should be the primary concern for new technology. While there is debate as to whether man made carbon dioxide is contributing to the greenhouse effect, there is no doubt that there is only a finite amount of fossil fuel to power the world.
With this in mind, there is only a finite amount of time before there is not enough fossil fuel to continue the current consumption, and alternatives will have to be found to keep pace. It is better to develop these technologies while we still have a comfort zone, than to have a last minute panic when the oil wells dry up.
Development of alternative fuel technology is used mainly to either generate electricity, or to create new fuels to power engines for trains, cars and lorries etc. These different kinds of power needs require different fuel types and sources of power. In the end while it is nice to have a feeling that you are helping to save the planet, the takeup of alternative energy will be driven by comercial take up of new technologies.
There are various pieces of alternative energy technology which are coming on to the market competing with fossil fuelled generators, only time will tell whether they are competitive enough to break into the market.
