12. Do you know if there are international projects concerning energy? Read this newspaper article and discuss the following questions.
Do you agree there is a lack of vision in the energy industry? If so, what vision could be created?
Is there a need to have international cooperation on the issue of the hydrogen-based economy? Give your reasons.
Lack of Vision
We are all aware of the crisis concerning energy. Climate change, constantly increasing demand, depleting reserves of primary fuels – the issues have become so familiar that we have become bored with the whole question. We are no longer prepared to listen. But the problem is not going to go away.
There seems to be a mass of short-term solutions to this long-term problem. But it is not just a question of getting on a bus and leaving the car at home, switching off lights and DVD recorders, or doing without a winter holiday. If we take a sober look at what is going on, there is a sense of something lacking. Where is the vision? This is not just a question to be put to energy companies and politicians, but to everyone. When are we going to get to grips with solving this most urgent of problems? What is needed is a change in people's long-term thinking.
Around 50 years ago, John F. Kennedy announced that the U.S.A would be able to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Similarly, there is now international willingness to cancel third-world debt. Why can we not create the same worldwide momentum to find new energy solutions? The hydrogen economy, fuel cells, even nuclear fusion: these are technologies which we can develop now for ourselves and for future generations.
Let's not leave the decision to the whims of the market. It is time to act now. With political will, vision, and by making a concerted effort, we can make a difference, and safeguard the livelihoods of future generations.
