What’s in store for the future?

When I sit on a sunny day and look at the sky and dream, I see hundreds of very large air craft making vapour trails across the sky

To the Editor:

When I sit on a sunny day and look at the sky and dream, I see dozens if not hundreds of very large air craft making vapour trails across the sky. This is going on around the world.

Millions of gallons of oil and gasoline are being constantly burned. As you all know, we have oceans of water that is evaporated up from the oceans and is constantly rained down again to be recirculated again, with no end. Have you ever thought that oil and gasoline, when once burned, are gone forever, and will  some day be all used up?

Have you ever thought of what transportation is going to be like without gas and oil? There is a limit to all chemical fuels, but do you see a future where a 747 is flying at 40,000 feet and the power is steam with wood or ?

I am 92 years old and have seen a lot. What will you youngsters see in your 90 to 110 years of your future? I can only guess.

The media tells us that there were some five or more world populations from Stone Henge, dinosaurs, the pyramids, etc. that were wiped out by earth calamity and are we on our way now?
