* I don’t have answers for everything, but I tend to view our world energy problem as a shared problem, not one caused by Asia. In fact, we in the U.S. are highly disproportionate users of world energy relative to our population. * What about sources of energy besides oil? CSIS predicts that nuclear energy use will slightly decline and alternative energy will continue at it’s current level, about 8%. * Thus, CSIS does not view nuclear or alternative energy as a solution for the next decade. * SOME RESOURCES FACTS By 2020, India’s demand for water will exceed its supply. * In developing countries, over 90% of sewage is dumped untreated into waters where it pollutes the drinkable water supply. …And 70% of industrial wastes go untreated into drinkable water sources. * Americans use an average of 20 pounds of coal per person per day for electricity, which totals over 7,000 pounds per person per year. * U.S. imports of oil: 1973: 36% from foreign sources 2007: 56% from foreign sources 2020: 70% from foreign sources * THE SEVEN FORCES Population Resources Technology Information Integration Conflict Governance * 3. TECHNOLOGY COMPUTATION - Wireless laptops, communication devices, media players, and navigation systems are samples of widespread use of computers. * - Computers will become even more a part of our daily lives due to increased user friendliness, decreased costs, reduced size, and reduced weight. * b. GENETICS AND BIOTECHNOLOGY The Human Genome Project mapped 300,000 genes, which was an incredible accomplishment. Scientific advances in health will significantly increase life expectancy. * c. NANOTECHNOLOGY - Nanotechnology is very, very small technology…micro-electromechanical machines the size of dust mites (with microscopic gears, chains, and computer chips) are already used in medicine, agriculture, and warfare. * To express my reaction in a sophisticated, professional manner, I say, “No way.” * The professional response is, “Uh
