The knowledge of the world is forever growing and we as a civilization or continually growing and need to provide ourselves with new cleaner sources of energy and the explorations of the natural resources just may help. But is the exploration of natural resources may not be the greatest of solutions for our current environment. Take the world today we run on coal and fossil fuels that damage the earth 's ecosystems put the plant at risk of being uninhabitable. Therefore a need arises to examine alternatives and to look towards ‘greener’ conclusions. The world’s primary energy utilization is made up primarily of nonrenewable sources of eighty plus percent. This poses problems as nonrenewable sources of energy production are not only exhaustible

Before uranium is utilized in nuclear reactors it has to be enriched. Uranium is an extremely radioactive substance that has to be mined up and processed producing a large surplus of unusable material in the process. Nuclear reactors create excessive amounts of heat through the process of nuclear fission. Steam is produced from the process moves the generators and turbines. The excavation of uranium and plutonium causes devastation to the surrounding environment. The waste from these excavations is also radioactive (Last updated May 3, 2013 by Mathias Aarre Maehlum). Stored in subpar condition will cause the contamination of surrounding surface and groundwater for miles and miles. When hazardous radioactive materials is freed, cause monumental critical effects on vegetation, wildlife and the wellbeing of …show more content…
Further exploration may just set us back as a civilization instead of moving us forward. Someday our resources will run out and will have no one to blame but ourselves. The only geologic exploration that should be done is the exploration of preserving our planet. With limited resources we are in need of preservation more than ever. Hope we can embrace a greener planet and only use those resources that are renewable. The use of non-renewables show a disregard for planet and future generation who will one day inhabit this planet. We do not only have the decade to think of we have countless other. While I am pro solar, wind and hydro (examples of renewable energy sources) other or more harming. The exploration of our world could be what drives use back into the dark ages. Once we had used what precious resourced we have we could be facing a famine of energy. There are cheap more productive ways to produce energy with the harm of the plant or of its life forces that inhabit it. The future only will tell what direction the Geological Exploration for Natural Resources will
