Conclusion

Throughout my research I have come learn that innovation is never ending. It might seem to the masses that not much is being done, but if you look past the surface a little bit you will see a different picture. Scientists and engineers are progressing with their designs in renewable resources. Strategies are being implemented to lighten our dependency on fossil fuels. Hydrogen and solar energy seem to be the front runners as the energy source to replace fuel, but that too can change. Other sources can potentially get that jump as new technology is discovered. Perhaps we may come across an unknown element with far more benefits. Fossil fuels will be a thing in the past and how will some countries take it? As I have mentioned before, economy plays a big role in all this planning and progression. There are some countries who rely heavily on its exportation income. Countries in the Middle East are an example of this. Will these countries fall when we do make the switch, or will they adapt and overcome? Will we be able to avoid any sort of tensions? With big strides being taken much planning must be implemented once we find this source of energy that can replace fossil fuels. Costs could also go down in certain systems that are currently considered expensive. Perhaps asteroid mining will do just that. Once we have vast access to materials we need anything is possible. This is no longer of if we will find that source of energy we need but when.  I’m looking forward to seeing what sort of changes we will see in the future and what sort of possibilities these changes will bring. I truly hope that for the first time in centuries we can truly say we are independent of fossil fuels.
