The Quest for viable alternative energy source

Imagine our world without supplied energy .... our lives will become unbearable within a day for many people and most social systems will probably collapse within a month. Our daily lives and the economic systems are fatally dependent on continuous energy supply. If the energy is choked, it can be used as a tool for war and suffering.

The recent speculative price hike proves that we need alternative fuel supply so that our safety, comfort and security can be planned with much better confidence. It had caused a race to get alternative energy supply such as from the sun's rays, wind power, geo thermal power and even nuclear power,which used to be bad word for the young and informed generation.


Alas, with the recent reduction in the price of oil, governments and public have begun to abandon their quest for a viable alternative energy. This should not be the case. We should still strive to find a good alternative to the oil and strive to maintain a good balance between both - ideally between 30% to 50%.

One aspect of the energy race the government needs to look at is what will their action will be if somehow a new source of energy is found which is tremendously cheap and freely available. They should plan for a minor social upheaval as the industrial and financial structures change happens to counteract this.
