Man formed society, then discovered fire, that is said to be one of the 2 most important inventions: fire and wheel.
Why are those so important? Well fire was the primary source of non-animal energy we discovered, while the wheel was the first efficient way to fight energy losses.
Today fire and wheel still move our life: the energy we use is mainly produced by combustion of fossil fuels. As all we know, fossil fuel burning, releases high amounts of greenhouse gases which increase the greenhouse effect and lead to the Global Warming.
We know the causes of it… we can't live without energy…we need an efficient way to store and collect energy… Solution? Hydrogen and ‘Non-pollutant Sun powered energetic resources’.
Wind, Waves, Hydroelectric and Solar power, those are the ‘Non-pollutant Sun powered energetic resources’. Sun powered you ask? Well it’s the Sun who makes our atmospheric weather, based on hot-spots and cold-spots in Earth surface. So Wind, raining in high altitudes and storms (where waves are formed) are all created by the Sun’s energy.
Using those energies have serious advantages. This will let every country to produce its own energy. Besides that, if we can achieve a bigger electricity production than the consumed, that electricity would be used (especially in countries with coast line) to produce hydrogen by electrolysis of water. That hydrogen would then be used by fuel-cells based generators, when by some reason the ‘Non-pollutant Sun powered energetic resources’ power plants couldn’t produce enough energy, and would also be used by cars , boats or even planes to replace the actual fossil fuel derivates we use on internal combustion engines.
So if we can’t get rid of our ‘drug’, let’s produce it, but in a cleaner way!
Our future ‘oil platforms’: the electrolysis.

“This will let every country to produce its own energy.”
That is true. If each country produced energy with the resources it has, countries without petroleum would decrease its energetic dependence. The problem is that powerful countries aren’t interested in that independence: unfortunately, economic interests always come first. That’s one of the reasons is so hard to fight the dependence on petroleum.
Still, it’s an interesting association between energy and drugs.
This addiction is inevitable: energy is for society, the same that food is for our body.
So, we really need clean and efficient ways to produce energy.
(Un)Do something! =)
