(Before It's News)

Crisis? What crisis? Is this what folks are saying, or are they looking for ways to help fix the crisis as well as taking on alternative energy sources? We live in an age of cool gadgets and home appliances of which most require a form of electricity to drive them. How many alternatives that operate on natural sources of power can be found as options? Electricity is still the primary form of energy used to power equipment, although more battery-operated choices are becoming evident. It is still typical for many products to run on gasoline – which obviously adds to air pollution.

The negative environmental effects of conventional electricity usage is constantly growing in line with the expansion in industry, which works by using large quantities of energy. Most production facilities still are emitting harmful chemicals that are not good for mother nature, and with the increase in population, many more gadgets are being used that also call for a lot of energy to be used. The major question will be can anything be done to help, not merely the economy, but also the environment? High technology continues to move forward, but not everything that is new has a positive effect on nature, especially if it causes energy resources to diminish faster. Unfortunately the damaging consequences for the environment are often ignored when innovators find laudable new uses pertaining to old resources.

Changing to alternative energy now can still deal with the environmental crisis, but if we keep delaying it will become an insufficient solution. Environmental agencies have carried out surveys that demonstrate that with present consumption patterns, our oil stores will be depleted in forty years. There’s been too much dependency by people on making use of natural energy sources, and what are these people going to do when they are gone. Imagine that there is no more gasoline, and what that spells for the transportation market and its clients. Success will probably come to mean survival if trade is affected badly, with production facilities closing and economic growth slowing right down.

The worst case scenario is really gloomy if nothing is done about it, and with individuals believing that natural resources will never run out, it is hard to say what will happen. In order to avoid the way things are going, people must start conserving the resources that are still readily available. For individuals to make use of them, alternative means of energy must be cost-effective as well as appealing. Individuals are quite good at making shifts when it is essential, but until then it is too easy to sit back and wait.

Individuals have to see conservation as necessary, while something can still be done. If men and women only realized things are not as cozy as they think, then they might begin doing some relatively simple things which would make a huge difference collectively: taking public transport, starting a carpool, or walking now and again.
