 Some may think 47 years is a long way off so why worry now-?

47 years marks the timeline that we will consume it all; at the current consumption rate.

If we do nothing during this timeline the world economies will plunge into total panic creating WW3; fighting for what is left.

 Developing renewables and going green is the only path we can take if we want to protect our children’s future.

 Personally, I do not think the world’s economies will make the needed transition and yes, my children will face a bleak and dark life coming their way.

But hay, I’m 73 years old, so why should I care?

Do You-?
