Abstract
This review paper was intended to visit the importance of sustaining the technology of eco- friendly vehicles. To understand the concept of eco-friendly we have first to understand the history of energy exploitation by human being. This review paper emphasize on the transition of energy source exploitation running thru early renaissance until the modern era we are in now. Internal Combustion Engine has served the world since early 20th century driving us into the new millennial that is the 21th century. The depletion of oil reserve indicate a utmost important for us to source for a new energy that we can exploit in abundant yet causes minimal effect to the environment. This review paper also brings in the concept of mature technology and how it can actually be a good thing that push us into innovating and creating new technology to be capable in adopting new ways in ensuring sustainability of humans by means of sustaining the technology.
Highlights
Human has always in need of power source to continue living
For the past 100 years in the horizon of 21st century, oil has been the key driver to the advancement of technology and its breakthrough has catapultedthe world economy to a level human has not seen before, at least in the modern era
To sustain a technology such as the eco-friendly technology this covers Electric Vehicle (EV), Solar Powered Vehicle (SPW) and Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) one must first understand the needs of such technology to exist
Summary
Human has always in need of power source to continue living. In early human has exploited natural resources like woods, coal for daily activities such as cooking and heat during winter. As what being mentioned in the article entitled History of Oil (2018), by EKT Interactive, the invention of steam engines in the 18th century capitalized the use of coal as its fuel lifted the industry of Europe and North America. During this era, coal was the main source of fuel in power generation. The emerging of new machinery and technology requiresa massive amount of coal to fuel the industries at that time. Kearney (2017), as much as the exploitation ofoil has helped the advancement of industries all around the world, it has contributed to the pollution of air caused by the burning of fossil fuel, at the upstream area the exploration has caused damages to the environment
