Green technology as a solution to fossil fuel wars
Researches have suggested that technology and greengrowth could save us from wars fought for fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are triggering violent conflicts in some parts of the world like Iraq, Syria and South Sudan. These conflict have resulted in loss of millions of innocent lives. The desire to control the oil assets is fuelling long standing historic tensions
In a fossil-fuel world, control over oil and gas reserves is essential component of national power
Perhaps technology can be looked at as a solution especially with key focus on renewable energy.
The change from oli, coal and gas to 100% renewable energy won't be easy. The fossil industry is the most profitable in the history of mankind.
The transition wont be easy as it comes with huge economic challenges.
In countries like United States renewable energy only accounts for 12% of the total energy consumption.
A lot of investments should be made on renewable energy. Although it has its limitations the long-term benefits will outweigh the costs.
