Fossil fuel is on its way out. Most countries, even oil-rich states are slowly but steadily shifting to green power as they grapple with the scale and scope of ecological disasters (climate change and global warming) caused by oil and its manifestations, a lecturer at Sharif University of Technology said.
“The future belongs to nations that set informed and long-term policies based on sustainable energy and net zero-carbon emissions, not those still pinning hope on petrodollars contributing terribly to health and environmental problems with catastrophic consequences,” Barg News quoted Hashem Oraee as saying.
Fossil fuels could last three decades at the most because the speed of developing technologies as a viable successor is high and rising, Oraee who also is the head of Renewable Energy Union, said.
“Up until 2050 the global need for power will double and reach 1.2 terawatts of which 60% will be renewable energy.”
