Energy demand is expected to double by 2050, pressuring scientists to perfect alternative energies in the next few decades. Otherwise, we’re heading for a darker world with electricity shortages and blackouts.
“If we don’t solve the issues of curing cancer in the next 50 years, life as we know it would pretty much go on as we’ve experienced it,” said Michael Wasielewski, echoing a statement by the U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
