Is it possible the government is hiding a suitable replacement for oil and other fossil fuels? I believe this is possible. I wish it was possible.
But even if there was a replacement for fossil fuels, our current consumerist culture is unsustainable. We consume far too many resources.
People need to accept that being mindless consumer drones isn't going to last forever. You can't expect to have infinite consumption on a finite planet. People these days are consuming resources like there is no tomorrow.
I might have said earlier that I don't want to be a doomer anymore. But I'm still somewhat of a doomer because I believe there is no way in hell that we can keep on consuming like there is no tomorrow.
Contrary to popular belief, technology will not solve all of our problems. Read the following book as proof as this.
