Looking at the Future

God knows how many more years we will have fossil fuels. At the rate we are using up fuel, soon a day when the planet runs only with solar power. More over, every human will have a battery pack on him, that keeps charging as and when we move or do some exercise. I imagine this, If you want to watch T.V or Listen to music, you need to exercise to create electrical energy to keep things running. Using our solar powered batteries to run water coolers, so as to keep away from any sort of pollution. But thinking of distant travels? how will that be possible? Possibly small solar powered planes that use up solar energy and surface panels of the plane that get charged due to the wind passing over them. Anything could be possible. But again it depends on when we start taking an initiative to keep the planet cool and healthy.
Teach children now onwards to use cycle, or walk for short distances. Understanding the need to conserve natural resources and energy in all forms. Having underwater turbines in the seas to create energy to run ships.

But in case the entire fuel reserves on the planet dry up! imagine the millions of cars that will be stranded. what will we done with them? Just throw them and move ahead? True.... again its like a phase, scooters just phased out in a couple of 5 years.electric vehicles have started being manufactured. So future has a lot in store.

Think of local transport. I think of tubes that have solar panels, which has cabins inside them. and the least friction between the inner chamber and the lining of the pipe. the movement of the cabins could be 60-80kms a hour. no destination would be too far.

Please do feel free to share your comments and ideas on making things better for the gen next.
