    A single source of cheap electricity is not omnipresent.
    The energy can be restored as the geographical areas changed .

    Like....Solar energy is very vital to store in many countries. International Solar Alliance is there.

    Somewhere Wind energy is abundant. CHINA, AUSTRALIA.

    Tidal Energy.
    Geo-thermal energy in the counties that line on Equator.

    & the types and pattern goes on.

    There is no universal type of energy that can be roll-on in the entire world.

    Conserve and Consume energy as much as you can.

    In industrial and post industrial societies, this must be. Reliance to machines and technology is evident in daily activities such as communication and transportation. Food, shelter, and clothing are a must but these will come in handy if people are equipped with a reasonable paying jobs. Jobs that are generally driven by the coordination of humans and machines. If the capital needed for energy is lesser, the bigger the money we get to use for other commodities needed.

Science and Technology

Few years back, you may have imagined about robots dominating the world; a miniature helicopter capturing photos; or living in Mars. Imagination goes well with creation. We’re on our way. For hundreds of years, science has been doing studies and giving explanations to occurrences that go beyond the human imagination and understanding. Thus, theories are created.
For hundreds of years, technology has been doing a great job in industrialising the world. You step in the land of the first world countries and see for yourself how lifestyle has been advancing. Yet, theory is a theory until it’s proven; technology remains limited. You might wake up one day and see that sci-fi turns into reality. However, what happens next when the clock ticks to ‘Midnight’ and doomsday is for the universe?
