Before Cadillac model 1931 was invented , cars used to move at 20 km/h in London streets because of the limitation of technology , today cars in the same exact streets moves at the same exact speed but the reason is different . That is an example of what challenges and real dangers mankind is facing because of the increase of population . Seven billion people today are increasing in number on a planet with limited space and limited resources . Seven billions are consuming , polluting and draining this planet . Terrifying statistics and expectations of global warming and environmental pollution are being repeated by scientists everyday but what's really gonna make us be cursed by next generations is the energy resources , unfortunately Oil is unrenewable resource of energy , scientists expect oil wells in the middle east to start shrinking by 70 years and run out by 100 averagely . Governments are stuck between peoples' increasing demands of economical improvements and environmental organization's harsh language . But how long is this planet gonna stand us ? What shall we do to save the environment and meets economical challenges in the same time ? Can we really find alternative energy resources that can replace oil in the future ?

with our advances in weapons technologies, the future is bright...
