The increasing demand and a falling supply of fossilized fuels will result into the dark ages for the global community.
Although there are different forms of energy available on the earth’s surface, most of the alternative technologies, against fossil fuels, depend on the hydrocarbon-based fuels. There are several technologies that are available as replacements of fossil fuels (not in all industries), such as hydropower, solar power, wind, and tidal energy. Despite their shortcomings, it is high time that the resources are perfected, and more research goes into the technologies. We can make lemonade out of lemons resulting from climate changes due to atmospheric and environmental damage from the use of petroleum based energy. The recent climate change results such as hurricanes and floods should be utilized for the purposes of development, for example, harvesting the surface run off water for hydropower production.
I think it is high time we adapt to the inevitable change that has been established by dwindling resources of fossil fuels. Despite the estimates of studies on the resource, it is important that we adapt to the change presented by dwindling resources. Adapting to the changes is important in efforts of developing an alternate sustainable technology to fossil fuel.
Civic cohesion is deemed as the unionization of communities, societies, or cities. In the article, it is suggested the concept on society will be based on the availability of resource. As suggested in the article, some of the regions will be better off for having been surrounded by farming hinterlands. The cohesion of the community will be driven by the desire of eking a living, which may also result to war and violence in the event of mistreatments. Cohesion will be a forced upon idea in the community for no authority or corporate entity will have the ability to cater for war. This is because firms and industries depend on the fossil fuel energy (Kunstler 118).
