So, what can be forecasted out of this kerfuffle that our consumer savvy economists present us? According to geologists, oil has already reached its peak and is in sharp decline yet many economists will disagree. Oil companies are persuaded by the urgency in using energy alternatives and dissuaded by claims that there is ‘unmerited’ management within the new alternative energy industries or overly excessive resources in converting capability to new energy systems. In contention to our energy formalities, there is little scientific controversy about the anthropogenic derivatives of climate change, from either ecological and/or health perspectives, thus the need for restrictions on hydrocarbon usage.
Restricting hydrocarbon fuel use involves efforts in expanding substituted fuel supplies and suppressing fuel demand to the NECESSITY of demand, NOT DESIRE; or in other words an attempt to modify society through ratification of policies compliant to the efficiency of stricter environmental standards regarding an economic stimulus incentive by using alternative energy sources. The energy sector’s principle exists solely on its application to civility and its progressive development to changing times, not to censure equity of livelihood or stagnate entrepreneurial markets out of modernization. Even if we can only fantasize about this progressive simpler era, the historical fact that cynicism towards the ‘availability’ versus the ‘needed’ demand of anything can lead to irreprehensible outcomes.
Citing the decline in hydrocarbon availability, based on the depletion of oil, contradicts a worsening of climate behavior as fossil fuels become less abundant but this is not true. Oil depletion leaves us with other hydrocarbons, methane clathyrates that will require stricter and more comprehensive ecological regulatory inquisitions, requiring the examination of all foreseeable complications; particular the cross examinations of foreign trade protocols regarding energy regulation compliancy to foreseeable ecological health demands.
Despite this, global economists are still a hopefully bunch regarding the future uses of petroleum resources: the supporters of a rhetorical malfeasance, contesting reform legislation that shapes the current climate paradigm; or, the conservative like minded: resolute in business measures, unregenerate of positional authority to forthcoming opportunity and abstract in political doctrine.
Soundly stating, this is a critical issue at hand and one that civilization has vested itself into. Our physical technological advancement and our mental cognitive development rest upon the availability to work in unconventional ways that alternative energy may provide, to find improvements, to improve others and simply improve ourselves.
