¶ … Future
Energy is one of the obvious challenges of the future. The problem with energy, as described in the article, is that the continuously developing technology and the new, more diverse and powerful economies require energy resources to be supported. Increase demand on the global market for products and services imply an increasing use of energy and a continuous need for it. The article shows that the demand for energy will grow with 60% in the interval 2002-2030, which is an enormous figure.
At the same time, while the demand for energy grows at an accelerated pace, the known energy resources diminish. Oil resources are in the last decades, as are the resources of natural gas. Even more so, it looks that, despite this situation, a lot of energy is actually wasted, without it producing any positive...
Technology has the capacity to create innovative solutions by which energy can be better used. This would mean, on one hand, saving energy, creating projects that consume less energy resources, while remaining just as efficient.
Another important direction in which technology can also be used is the development of new sources of energy. This has already made its way on the market, including renewable sources of energy, such as the solar, wind or wave energy. The idea is to invest more into these technologies. The obligation of the international governments is to financially and legislatively support the research and development into these fields, while ensuring that the proper framework is in place to encourage…
