The first thing that comes to mind is that eventually all things will be electric due to the fact that our non-renewable energy sources are nearing depletion rapidly. Without gasoline we won’t be able to drive our cars, cut our grass or use any of the things that run on gasoline unless they are electric. Today most of our electric power is produced by using our non-renewable energy sources so by making ever thing electric it will help to prolong the life of fossil fuels but sooner or later we will have to start using renewable sources of energy to produce our electricity.
Then what comes to mind knowing that eventually ever thing will be electric will be perceived as clean power because it is going to be produced with strictly renewable energy sources like solar and wind power.
Will electricity ever be wireless? Yes, Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have already conducted successful wireless electricity experiments. This brings even more things to mind when thinking about the future of electricity. Think about this, if electricity is wireless you won't have to worry about power outages, no wires or poles for storms to topple. Consumers will have more control on how and when they want their power delivered and for those who take advantage of renewable energy sources like solar power will be totally independent of the power companies.
How long will it be before we see these advancements with electricity? Nobody can be sure when, but what is sure is that when they do start to happen consumers will gain more and more control over their power needs. The people who begin now, to use the renewable energy sources that are available will find themselves independent of the power companies much sooner than those of us that don't act and continue to rely on the electric companies for our power needs.
Those of us that doubt we will ever see the end of our non-renewable energy sources will be very surprised when finally do run out. Recent estimates show that our non-renewable sources of energy will run out in about thirty-five years or so. Those estimates are based on our present rate of consumption but, we all know that as time passes we use more and more energy. As our consumption rates increase our non-renewable sources will reach depletion even more quickly. So, You may want to start stocking up on candles for the day that all power goes out.
All it would take to make our energy sources last a little longer would be a little bit of conservation on the part of all of us. If everyone would just try to save a tiny bit of energy it would add up to a lot so, pitch in do your part and save a tiny bit today.
