There are many problems we face today relating to the environment: climate change, clean and/or renewable energy, deforestation. All of these horrible things are happening for one reason. We as a species have zero control over our surroundings nor do we show any desire to do so, in order to advance as a species we need to make great strides in focusing on weather influencing technologies whether by government or business.
Good Morning! and welcome to DP.
People tend to vote with their wallets.
They will choose what ever fills their need and costs the least naturally.
I say naturally because unnatural price adjustments by taxation only affects the limited reach of the taxing authority.
I think the cost curves are already in motion for a replacement of fossil fuels, with man made hydrocarbon fuels.
Organic oil will continue to increase in price, as the supply of cheap easy oil is exhausted.
Several research paths by the Naval research labs, Audi/sunfire, and Fraunhofer university,
are in the last stages of technological development, of synthetic fuels made from electricity,
water and CO2 from the active environment.
The resulting fuel is a form of energy storage, that is carbon neutral.
This means that as Solar and wind increase, the surplus can be stored as fuels compatible
with existing vehicles, and other demands.
