Energy revolution: A sustainable global energy outlook

“Will we look into the eyes of our children and confess
that we had the opportunity,
but lacked the courage?
that we had the technology,
but lacked the vision?”

Those are two terrible questions that will bounce forever in the heads of the conscious people.

We have to stop inventing excuses for not saving energy, for not going greener in our environment, for not supporting the people and organizations that are ahead in conserving the planet's environment.

What are some of the consequences for our planet and our environment if we keep doing nothing about the energy waste, and the environment pollution? 

Here are only three of the inconvenient answers:

• Sea level rise due to melting glaciers and the thermal expansion of the oceans as global temperature increases. Massive releases of greenhouse gases from melting permafrost and dying forests.
• A greater risk of more extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts and floods. Already, the global incidence of drought has doubled over the past 30 years.
• Severe regional impacts. In Europe, river flooding will increase, as well as coastal flooding, erosion and wetland loss. Flooding will also severely affect low-lying areas in developing countries such as Bangladesh and South China.
