Second ofcourse you can continue to burn coal and oil to make engergy but why do that when you can use solar power and wind power aswell? or Wave energy which is one of the biggest sources of energy on this planet? WE should start the use of durable energy now so that WE won't get stuck with the problem of lack of fosil fuel sources.
And what you sayd about Emissions being lower then the 60's I'd wanna see where you got that from since there are a LOT more cars now then there were before and not to mention a lot of new countries who are just setting up their own industrial revolution

I agree with you that SOLAR, Fusion, Wind and Wave energy are all sources of potential energy, the problem is, at the current time, they are all too innefficient to supply a large amount of the worlds needs. Research is continueing to make these technologies better but it takes time. There are also probably SEVERE ecological impacts to Wind and Wave energy technologies. In a pilot program somewhere in Nova Scotia or New Foundland I believe, they found that harnessing the wave energy had terrible effects on the fish and marine life further up the bay, tide levels were lowered and all kinds of havoc ensued. Massive tapping of wind energy also bodes ill for weather patterns. Soalr and Fusion are probably our best bets for the future, right now though they are just too expensive or technicly unfeasable to implement. I say continue the research.
