Humanity must become aware of the urgent need to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy sources to avoid the catastrophic scenario of using coal as an energy source as well as to replace the current model of development for sustainable development, which, by reverse logistics, with the reuse, recovery and recycling of materials, thus reaching the so - called closed production cycle, could delay the exhaustion of natural resources of the planet Earth.

For example, we have replaced more than 60 percent of our fossil fuel requirements in our manufacturing process with renewable energy sources.

The other point I wanted to make with respect to a cost / benefit analysis of reduction and eventual near elimination of fossil fuel as an energy source is that this is already an unavoidable future.

The moral of the story, in essence, is that «future energy» — at least through the next couple of decades — is largely the same as current energy, with gains in efficiency and growth in adoption of renewable sources and nuclear power still not substantially blunting growth in the combustion of fossil fuels.

While the climate situation is far worse than most people think, the options for quickly phasing out fossil fuel and nuclear energy and replacing them with clean renewable energy sources are much better than most people think.
