Green vehicles

Last week, the German government announced that it wants all German cars to be emissions-free by the year 2030. This ambitious goal has set a precedent for other countries to follow. As this blog has noted previously, the renewable energy revolution will play a catalytic role in the advancement of the internet. The internet is a already mammoth consumer of electricity. As we enter the age of the Internet of Things and Big Data becomes Colossal Data, the internet will require significantly greater energy supplies to power the needs of the world. Traditional sources of energy will be insufficient to meet this need. Renewable energy will become crucially important as a means of digitalising the whole world and also protecting our environment.
Already, one third of all amphibians and many species of fish are under threat of extinction due to anthropogenic climate damage. Human industry has done irrevocable damage to the Ozone layer, leaving us with no option but to invest heavily in Green energy. Cars are an obvious culprit in this particular domain, with diesel emissions largely responsible for much of the damage to the environment. Germany has long been extremely environmentally friendly and ahead of the curve in regard to renewable energy. Germany also happens to be a major producer of the world's finest cars with BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen firmly established as globally recognised brands.
This latest initiative by the German government demonstrates tremendous forward-thinking and prudence, qualities that are sadly lacking in many governments around the world. Hopefully, other governments will follow Germany's example and aspire to leave future generations with a healthy environment and functional digital economy. Wouldn't that be something worth striving for?
