Stop driving your car on gasoline now, there are alternatives!
For all of history, cars have been driven by gasoline. The result? We are all using gasoline like crazy.
One hundred and fifty years ago, the internal combustion engine was introduced. Since then human society has been using gasoline like crazy. The efficiency of that engine, and the convenience of gasoline utilisation actually helped much of world progress in the 20th century.
Gasoline, however, is not unlimited. Since it can only be produced by extreme geological forces occurring over hundreds of millions of years, the high rate of human consumption means that it will be all over within 200 years. And we have used up the first 150 years.
The time to look for alternatives is here. For those people in their twenties or thirties, gasoline will be history within their lifetimes. But you say, what’s the hurry?
Well, before gasoline really is depleted physically, economic forces will be felt first. As gasoline gets less and less, the amount of effort and capital needed to get whatever remaining will increase. The gasoline that is left will be in smaller pockets because the large pockets would have been sucked up dry. The cost of recovering the increasing smaller pockets is of course higher as it gets more difficult to detect and mined.
In fact, chances are the economic effects is already here. The high gasoline prices within the last year or so can be argued to be due to more speculations or economic manipulations. However, if the gasoline reserves is unlimited, it would make sense to just keep producing to meet demands, wouldn’t it? No, they can’t that because the more they produce now, the faster it will deplete.
That is why we should start working towards using alternatives now. The sooner we do so the better it will be. Because gasoline actually is harmful to the very environment we live in.
In fact alternative fuels have been around for quite some time. It just doesn’t get noticed as long as gasoline prices is low which causes the inertia to change high. Well, not so now.
Two easy alternatives are available right now. Hydrogen fuel cells as well as biodiesel are both affordable to society at large with just a small initial capital and time commitment. Besides being reneweable hence the chance of changing supply to meet demand at will, it is also safe to use to the user as well as to nature.
Do you want to wait anymore?
