Doesnt the issue of Sustainability deserve a thought ???

My biggest passion in life is Renewable Energy... And maybe thats because i think about Sustainability - sustainability of our future (the future of mankind)..

Sometimes this feels as if its out of a science fiction book or a post-apocalyptic movie and the mind just doesn't want to believe in it. But the earlier we realize this, the better.. Our EARTH is like one big island.. Anyone who believes we'll be able to colonize distant planets in the near future is living a dream.. So the Earth is all that we humans have got.. This huge island is where we must survive..

Our current state and rate of development is highly un-sustainable. The fossil fuel reserves are about to be exhausted in another 50 years.. The population is rising so fast that we neither have enough land to grow food nor do we have sufficient facilities for drinking water..

To create jobs for more people, more industries are being setup. These industries are eventually dependent on raw material extracted from the earth (like iron, chemicals, silicon) and are sucking out material from the earth at an unbelievable pace. And all this is being done in the name of growth,

At this rate, what can we expect from our future ?
