I would like to know your outlook on Renewable Energy in the Urban environment.?

[Griff]

I know that everyone in America has pretty much heard of the infamous Renewable Power vs. Fossil fuel debate. Most people realize that oil and other fossil fuels are vastly being depleted through the many different machines that require Fossil fuels to run. But what most people don't understand is that this energy source is very limited. So much in fact that in the next 50 years, globally, we are expected to run out completely. To make matters worse, the human population is expected to skyrocket to nearly 10 billion in the coming decades. Now I don't know about you, but to me this means we need to be more effective and focus on more specific targets with power. I believe Urban Power efficiency will become one of the top priorities in the future. With the expanding cities can only mean more power usage and more pollution. Reducing this increase of pollution sits at the top of switching to clean power. Another driving force is the demand for more energy. It is quite evident that the more people, the higher the demand for energy. We need an exponentially increasing amount of resources to compensate for the population increase. Lastly, Sustainability is a major issue that needs to be incorporated into any future power plans. This subject includes a whole array of sub points such as cost effectiveness and ecological footprints. Some energy systems are noticeably cheaper than others but have more detrimental effects on the environment. The limiting factor here is, when does the health of nature overcome the expenses of energy? It is only a matter of time before engineers, scientists, and the human population finally integrate Urban design into every corner of their lifestyles. It all comes down to, is it worth it? Do the ends justify the means? Do we shift our energy systems to uncertain Renewable energy, or keep our trustworthy Fossil fuels?
