I think even if we cross the point of no return, and get into a feedback loop in which things get worse and worse, there’s always the hope that some monumental breakthrough can turn things around. Like John Connor, our saving grace will bring us back from the brink of destruction. Let’s just hope we never reach the point where a miracle is necessary.

Nanotechnology can provide us with tiny air and water purification systems that self replicate and clean the oceans and atmosphere. Solar energy and hydrogen fuel cell technology can help us run our cars and machines on water and sunlight, as opposed to fossil fuels and even organic alternatives. I for one think biofuel is just a half-measure that itself will beg correction in a few years (or decades). What about cold fusion? A breakthrough in that would be fantastic!

It seems like we could forsake technology altogether, and get “back to nature,” or we could hold out for a little while longer, and finally develop something amazing that proves we belong in the 21st century.
