Experts have estimated that by 2100, Earth\u2019s population will reach up to 12 billion people. In 2014, we have enough trouble (not to mention wars) finding and extracting energy sources such as oil, coal, etc.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that we\u2019re only at 7 billion people today and \u00a0nearly 2 billion of them are living without electricity. Oil and coal are finite and with carbon emission policies spreading through most nations (apart from Abbott’s Australia), their use will become as fossilized as the fuel itself.<\/p>\n

Renewable energy obviously has a huge part to play in powering the growing population.<\/p>\n

But electrification is also key. Using renewable energy (and possibly nuclear fusion), electricity can replace liquid fuels from being used in lights, cooking, and, as the electric car has shown, transportation. It is imperative that we\u00a0must continue to innovate to support the incoming crowd.<\/p>\n

By 2100, Earth’s population is estimated to be over 11 billion people and with resources as finite as they are now, we have to know what we can do to ensure power goes to our future.
