3.I.(g)(a)   Renewable Energy is needed to conserve Fossil Fuels for future generations using Carbon Capture and Storage -  compression/storing will take many years to maximise efficiencies


Western extravagance, coupled with new forces (China and India), are exhausting energy resources [Fossil Fuels - oil and natural gas].  Geologists and oil-industry insiders predict that the Peak Oil will occur shortly, or has recently eclipsed.  Society of Petroleum Engineers estimates remaining official reserves represent 44.6 more years of oil dependant upon continual increases in demand and the possibility of new discoveries.  Dire predictions include severe price increases and demand destruction with negative implications for the global economy and possibly the collapse of industrial civilization due to a disastrous chain reaction in the financial markets. 

Australia meets around 69% of its present liquid petroleum need.  The remaining 31% is imported.  Without a fall in demand or unless new reserves are found and developed, Australia will import 65% of its liquid petroleum needs from 2015. 
 

Almost all of the cars and trucks we drive run on fuels derived from oil.  Oil is a non-renewable resource, and while there is some debate as to how long this resource will last, man will eventually have to find new ways to power highway vehicles.

Researchers are hard at work exploring new fuels and vehicle technologies. Hydrogen and fuel cells are areas of intense research.  Hydrogen is clean, versatile, and can be produced from a wide variety of domestic resources, including renewables.

Other Fossil Fuels such as coal, shale oil, tar sands, and natural gas are another possibility, as are fuels derived from biomass, such as biodiesel.

In the meantime, buying time by using Renewable Energy to maximise the utility of remaining Fossil Fuels and thereby Reduce Carbon Emissions needs to be a focus.
