The GoGreen Revolution

The world is moving into a new era, the Go Green Revolution (GGR).  This means that everyone, not only environmental activists, has to go green because of the earth's current climate change and rising sea levels.  Environmental changes are not only damaging to our economy, but are now to the point of threatening human life itself.  It is no longer acceptable to solely use fossil fuels to run the economy while damaging the environment.

Many countries now realize there is a problem and are actively trying to change their economic system to become more earth friendly.  Germany is an example of this, they have placed a cap on their CO2 emissions to reduce their greenhouse gas contribution.  In Brazil, they have taken charge and started the process of changing to ethanol.  They have already changed 40% of their fuel to ethanol, so they are no longer dependant on foreign imported oils.

The United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) already warns us of the seriousness of global climate change.  Dr. Achim Steiner, Exec. Director UN Environmental Program, says that “It matters whether or not you are born in Africa…..societies are affected in different ways.”  No longer is there debate about our direct involvement in global warming.  We, humans, are responsible for the warming of the earth and all nations accept this result without doubt. 

How does this global change affect us?  It's very clear that our future has to change dramatically, soon.   This is bad news for those nations that are not prepared. The future competitiveness of a nation depends on its energy security.    Whoever develops the initial green energy source, will elevate their nation to become a major power in the future.  A new revolution means new opportunities for all industrial nations.  It can be solar, wind, water, biomass, or any type of renewable energy source for all different nations.  It is a matter of survival and the fittest will come out on top with innovative energy developments.  The 19th century had the Industrial Revolution, the 20th century had the IT revolution and now the Go Green Revolution is for the 21st century.

The Go Green Revolution and converting to an environmentally friendly industry is no longer a choice.  It is our reality and it's coming to us very quickly.
