I think that is some ways we have moved on from carrying money...OK, we haven't done away with money, we still use financial transactions to live...but we already have moved on from carrying gold/silver coins to notes...which are promisory....and a further move hs been with debit cards...so no actual money changes hands, just the figures on the balance sheet change.

Men have always been paid in some way for their efforts(even slaves were given bed and board.....even if it was very basic).


As for the natural resources running out. They will do someday in the future.
I am sure I read something (it was a long time ago, so forgive me if I cannot tell you where I read it) that the oil producing countries had stifled the development of engines that didn't rely on oil/petrol to make them run....and before anyone tells me that oil isn't just used to propel vehicles...it is in a vast number of things that we use every day...yes I do know this....but I feel that, if allowed, scientists can find other ways of producing the things that we currently rely on oil for the production of.

As for the power to run our homes.........I don't get the wind farm stuff.....or the solar power stuff.

We are an island, the tides of the sea hold a great amount of energy......why can this power not be harnessed to produce electricity.
The winds don't always blow,the sun doesn't always shine, but the tides are constant.....and the energy is free(OK the development of the equipment to harness the power may not be)...and at least we would be self sufficient for this type of energy. And it would be GREEN energy.
