The Environment and Sustainable Renewable Energy Future Cities and Living

Climate changes, mainly due to the high amount of Carbon emission, has become In less than 30 years from now, the entire living style of cities may go for a massive change,

up feasible colonies in other planets.

Future of Transportation

The future of transportation will be exciting. Flying cars running with solar electric power
will replace the petro-chemical fuel systems which is expected to reduce the emission of
carbon by 80%. Planned cities with well-established traffic systems will use auto driven
electrical and solar cars and other public transport systems.

Many fear that the rise of such autonomous vehicles will put millions of people out of jobs,
and this is a fair concern. Yet, while innovation in the transportation sector will displace
many jobs, the rise of innovative vehicles such as self-driving cars, electrics cars, drones,
and hyperloop are representative of new sectors with demand for many novel positions.
Drones will be even used as fire and safety measures where drone driven evacuation from
high rise buildings will be a reality.

Forecasting even further into the future, another exciting demand will be in the area of
interplanetary space pilots. Just recently, Virgin Galactic’s passenger-carrying spaceship
VSS Unity completed its seventh unpowered glider test flight. SpaceX has also announced an
Interplanetary Transport System. In fact, as humanity strives to become an interplanetary
and possibly an intergalactic species this opens up a world of exciting jobs and opportunities
that we’ve only ever seen in science fiction movies.
