Breakthroughs

What will need to happen to make this technology possible in the future

 

Find a new way to speed up the process of coal development.

 

Find a way to dig a deep enough hole (without triggering volcanic eruptions).

 

Find a type of chemical that will liquefy plants (it will need to kill the plants during the process).

 

Acquire the needed amount of plants without endangering our environment.

 

Find out how to repair equipment that fails at great depths.

 

Consequences

What will result after this
invention occurs .

 

Positive:

We will have more coal.

 

Coal will not be as expensive since we will have abundant amounts.

 

The percent of unemployment will decrease because people can find jobs in the factories.

 

People will not have to mine for natural coal too much.

 

We will not run out of coal.

 

People will not have to worry about getting hurt while mining.

 

Negative:

Each machine will be expensive.

 

It will pollute a little because of the factories.

 

Not every country might be able to purchase this.

 

There might not be any place where the factories can be built.

 

The governments around the world will have to get money so cities and states can buy these.
