Another round of energy crisis is knocking at the door. In 2004, world oil consumption reached a new record, causing oil price in the international market to skyrocket amazingly.
As for China, it was reported that many traditional mineral cities in northeastern China had run into predicament, with their economy collapsed and workers unemployed, only because coal had been mined out.
Fossil energy resources, including coal, oil and gas, are unlike sunlight, water power and wind power which are generated consistently. They’re not practically reproductive during human history. Once consumed, they’re gone forever.
If they were to be exhausted before we could find sufficient reproductive resources to replace them with, we’d have to live in entire blackout again like our ancestors have done thousands of years ago. That’s of course not what anyone would want to see.
Due to technical limitations, people still have to utilize these resources now.
As a result, we must economize them most cleverly. New techniques should be developed and applied to reduce energy cost in industry and daily life. Alternative energy should be employed wherever possible. Eradicate any practice that wastes energy.
Humans have overcome so many crises in history, and we’re sure to win this time also.
另一輪能源危機正在敲門。2004，世界石油消費量達到一個新的記錄，導(dǎo)致國際市場石油價格飛漲驚人。
至于中國，據(jù)報道，在中國東北的許多傳統(tǒng)的礦產(chǎn)城市已經(jīng)陷入困境，與他們的經(jīng)濟崩潰和工人失業(yè)，只有因為煤炭開采了。
化石能源資源，包括煤、石油和天然氣，都是不同于陽光、水動力和風(fēng)力發(fā)電，這是一致的。他們在人類歷幾乎沒有生殖。一旦被消耗，他們將永遠。
如果他們在我們能找到足夠的生殖資源來取代他們之前，他們就要用盡了，我們不得不在整個大停電中生活，就像我們的祖先在幾千年前做的那樣。這當(dāng)然不是什么人想看到的。
由于技術(shù)的限制，人們現(xiàn)在仍然需要利用這些資源。
因此，我們必須節(jié)約他們最聰明的。新技術(shù)的開發(fā)和應(yīng)用，以降低能源成本，在工業(yè)和日常生活。應(yīng)盡可能采用替代能源。消除浪費能源的任何做法。
人類在歷已經(jīng)克服了這么多的危機，我們一定會贏得這一次。
