All the issues raised in the article are really pertinent issues that need proper understanding among all segments of the society rather confining to a few intellects. At times many of the global citizens are oblivious to these problems and assume that all these sources of nature are eternal. There is absolutely no doubt that within a small span of time the whole world is going to face a serious energy crisis. The whole world is sharing this concern and immense ways and new techniques to meet the energy demands are also engineered. The only question is “can these changes and innovations chalked out in various international summits bring any serious changes to existing problem which is multidimensional”? It’s a serious clash between renewable and non renewable resources. But ultimately we have the moral responsibility of upholding the concepts of sustainable development because we should give due consideration to the aspirations of future generations. In spite of this grave problem within 50-100 years from now another perilous problem that the world will face is the issue of WASTE generated in this world. This includes the wastes from renewable source of energy also. The wastes of damaged solar panels, nuclear reactors and every creations of man like electronic gadgets and equipments etc will become a menace in the future. After a particular time they become obsolete and we will have to leave that. What are we going to do with this? Where will we dump all these hazardous wastes? Imagine the amount of waste that will get accumulated. Earth is acting as a creator and a sink. We can’t dump these things in mars or moon. The entire things will have to be sunk in the earth. The massive use of non renewable resources creates innumerable quantities of wastes and along with a proper management programme to tackle energy crisis we need to very seriously take care of this waste management also or else every techniques of sustainable developed will become disastrous and the future will pathetically suffer.ARJUN R SHANKARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045154720505896630noreply@blogger.com
