From Teen to Green

Wood, Coal and Oil

The Adolescence of Humanity

 

It has been said that as a whole, the human species worldwide is in transition from adolescence—teen yeas—to full responsibility.

We might also point out that we are about to have a major shift in awareness. We might be living in a world of scarcity (what has been called natural resources) to a world of abundance. Are we crazy? This seems to be a far-off claim.

For some thousand of years, humans have used three main sources of energies: wood, then coal (still used but already peaked) and now  oil (about to peak), its too expensive now (2011) , its over US $ 100 a barrel, but it used to be cheaper than water in the 1960, about two dollars a barrel (these days are gone) .

Another interesting fact is that some years ago, humanity discovered the law of circulation: the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, the water cycle and so forth. This is not jus another discovery, it tells of the million year’s story of life on earth. How matter comes to be, increase, dies and decreases is decomposes into its components.

This entails is the full circle of ecology. The symbol of the Tao, represents this very well. All polarities are cycles. One of these tenets assumes the integration of polar extremes: day and night, good and bad.

            Were the fears of Charles Darwin true or unnecessary?

The Carbon Footprint and Water Footprint.

We share this metaphor humanity may be ending the teen years: years of water, wine and roses. For thousand of years humanity has dilapidates wood, and cut forest of most lands. When coal was produced massively about 150 years, humanity used it until it peaked.

Although it is still used to produce electric it is no longer a major source of energy and has no future as such. Something has happened with oil, it use is a boy to peak at more than US $ 100 a barrel, and it already reached US $ 150 dollars a barrel last year (in 2010).

Nuclear energy which some countries use widely as reactor for producer electricity is certainly too dangerous and Chernobyl in 1986 accident has shown,. Recently the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan led to the explosion of other nuclear reactors.

So what’s left?

Green energies: solar energies, the seas, wind, bio-fuels.  Fuel cells made from water decomposition are very promising.
