This interruptance of my sleep is not always a bad thing, though. It gives me time to take a ten minute shower (using hot water), make my breakfast (usually scrambled eggs) and I am out the door at 7:30. Then my mom drives my brother to school. I finally get to school at ten to 8. Then, throughout the day I use the computer for about two hours total (for school). I text about 30 times a day and I use my phone to listen to music. Then, since I have trouble getting to sleep sometimes, I listen to my iPod for five hours while I am asleep. Also, I use my stove fifteen times a week.
These are just some of the ways that I and most middle class people in the world use energy throughout the day. When I am using the energy for these things, it always seems like a good idea. I never think twice about heating my soup up in the microwave or sending that text to Josh. It never crosses my mind. This is because at that particular time it seems incredibly important to me. Josh needs to now I am here. My soup must be warm. But now, when I am writing down these facts, I can't help but think about what will happen to energy sources when we have ten billion people in the world, billions of which are doing the exact same thing.
Whenever I am for some reasons too happy and I want to become a little sadder I think about what the world will look like when I am 50 years old. That's right: in 2050 there is estimated to be 10 billion people in the world. What will happen then? Whenever I think about this day, I always picture over population and people being sent to Mars because of the limit of space on the planet. Although this won't probably happen in 2050, ten billion is a scary number. Come 2050, we must be far along in the discovery and use of renewable energy. Because if we don't, there will be hell to pay. We can not rely on fracking that much longer.
