The Future Looks Grim
It's hard to escape the conclusion that the human race is headed back to the Stone Age, sometime in the near future. It may not be too long before this comes about, and around 500 years or so looks to be a possibility, according to some estimates.
What reasons are there for this? Just see how fast we find new types of metals and fuels and then burn them out. Within two hundred years or so we have nearly mined the planet out. The rate we are burning up the planet's resources is simply unbelievable.
It won't be long before all liquid and gas fossil fuels are burnt out. Following that, all the coal deposits will be used up. The last to go will be nuclear fuels, but that won't take long when all else is used up. By this stage iron will be worth the price of gold, and five pounds of aluminium or copper will be something entire clans fight and die over.
Probably, by this time, the only power sources will be solar, wind or tidal generators, and maybe a small amount of geothermal power in one or two areas. Also, with no metal for repair and maintenance - and certainly not to build new with - these existing power sources will have a short life expectancy. Not really a problem, though, as there will be little left to power anyway by then. It looks as if the seas will be a barren, poisonous soup of plastic residue and nuclear waste by then anyway.
What hope does the human race have, after this stage? Only the prospect of a barren future. The best guess is that with all the earth's easily-found resources used up, and with no fuels or metals to be found any more, life will revert back to an animal-like existence of a pre-Stone Age type. At least they had unlimited amounts of forest timber, flints, and game to hunt then. None of those exist any more.
The horror of a return to this Neanderthal lifestyle can only be imagined - a spade or knife will be worth 10 pigs and 20 cows; roots and weeds grubbed up with an old stick will be the average diet. The currency will be cows, pigs and slaves. For as we sink back down into a Neanderthal existence once more, from which there can never ever be any escape, all the vile old ways will return. The human race will return to an animal-like existence.
Food shortages will be so severe until the population shrinks back down to the tiny fraction of its present level that the planet can support without any technology, that cannibalism will become rife. As the shortages begin to bite, starvation and disease will reduce the earth's population to around 5 percent of the present number. The earth's human population will be much larger than now when all this occurs, so that around 99 percent will die.
We should also note that those countries with higher levels of technology will be hardest hit. It is probable that rural regions in third-world countries will not see much change, and will carry on as normal. High-tech countries will see a return to pre-Stone Age life but without any of the benefits of the land at that time - we have removed all the usable materials. The implication is that life in the western world will return to the same sort of level seen in somewhere like Papua New Guinea now - but without the culture. This isn't really controversial since no one can suggest any realistic alternative.
And remember - there can never be any escape.
There cannot be any medical care of course, since there won't be any power, metals, plastics, transport or energy. No surgery, no medicine.
We will return to a time before the Stone Age, since even that exalted level of life will not be available to us. Although as the human population of the Western world gradually dies out, the future could be brighter for areas like Brazil perhaps. With the removal of the poisonous virus of industrial humanity chainsawing the trees and bulldozing the land, the native peoples will be able to recover.
There's only one possible escape from this dilemma: if before that point we have developed a space travel method that allows us to mine the planets and asteroids, to keep the supply of metals going for vital industries.
'Vital industries' by then will simply and only be space transport research, as the human species will become virtually extinct without it. The only way out is off - and the only way off is by finding a way to other planetary systems, where we might be able to locate another similar planet.
If we are very, very lucky. And it doesn't take a genius to work out that will mainly be for those in power, plus the odd doctor or two.
Nordyne to Honeywell replacement furnace control board question?
The control board on my Tappan G6, a Nordyne # 624591-D, went bad. I'm replacing it with the Honeywell S9200U1000 universal control board. The Nordyne board has an M1 and M2 spade terminals for the blower motor but both the Honeywell's are marked as just "PARK". One has a small E30 and the other E31 near them. So where do my orange and blue wires go? Or does it matter which color goes where on the Honeywell board? I can't find anything in the installation instructions for the Honeywell that gives me a clue. Everything else in the instructions were clear except that.
Thanks
http://customer.honeywell.com/techlit/pdf/PackedLit/69-2075.pdf page 8 of the instructions shows the Heat and Cool speed spade connections, red and black fan wires in that order. blue and orange fan wires are not used and should be capped and secured in the harness.
