What fuel source will completely replace fossil fuel?
Throughout the decades this question has been asked over and over again. With
petroleum costs consistently fluctuating and the threat of global warming ever
present, top engineers and scientist have been working ever so hard to find a
replacement choice. Several different alternative fuel source systems have been
produced but its efficiency and cost don’t quite match or surpass fossil fuel.
Could these alternative fuel sources ever surpass fossil fuel as better designs
make these fuel sources more efficient and less pricey? Perhaps when petroleum
resources run low and prices begin to spike will the use of alternative fuel
sources be the most cost-efficient route to go. With that in mind we must ensure this new source is renewable, If not, we could potentially see fluctuating
prices as we do now with fossil fuel. Time is of the essence and with greenhouse gasses at all time high levels we must be quick on a strategy. We must also ensure the this new source of fuel doesn't harm the environment otherwise we are simply digging a bigger hole for ourselves. So much research has gone into all
this and maybe the fuel source that will replace fossil fuel hasn’t yet been
discovered. How about we think outside the box. Maybe our answer lies beyond this world. Perhaps the answer to all our questions is in space or some other planet. Big change will take
place once a replacement source of energy is discovered and our dependence on
fossil fuel is finally diminished. I’ll see what systems are available in the
auto industry for alternative fuels. I’ll look into big energy companies to see
what plans they have for our future. There are solutions out there and a
replacement fuel source could already be here.

I agree that a change in our main energy resource is inevitable and I think your idea to look to space for energy would be the most interesting and far out. I have read articles about nuclear fission becoming a plausible resource with way less pollution. I also agree with the sense of urgency in that sustainability is a factor and the longer we resort to using fossil fuels the more our world may suffer.
ReplyDeleteI found your post/topic very interesting as I have never given this idea much thought. It will be interesting to see what type of research there is out there and how you will use it to explain your ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would add some outside sources to your post as it would give you a great base line of where we are at with research now. What has already been discovered? What replacements are they already considering?
I agree with the fact that we need to find something that will work just as good, otherwise we will not have this commodity for ever. It is urgent that we find some sort of replacement as the world will not be able to sustain this way of living for ever.
I love this discussion! I have often thought that petroleum gas is in dire need of a replacement. I'm very excited to see what you find! I would just ask, what would you consider the most likely replacement? Is there one strong contender? Or is there many that aren't as strong. I've heard of so many options like electricity, even moss as a replacement!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I think with rising carbon emissions, we need a change. Not only for our earth, but for economic reasons as well. Both of these reasons make it seem very necessary to fin another source of fuel.
