The Disruption
By early 2028, severe regulations and laws will be enforced globally to significantly restrict the consumption of fossil fuels. In 2018, two-thirds of global greenhouse gas emissions are generated due to energy production and use, especially in the transport and heating industry. This is a core culprit in climate change and global warming (Irena, 2018). Due to this, for generations, scientists and various industries have tried to overcome climate change and global warming by reducing our dependence on non-renewable energy sources. Over the years, the transportation industry has especially focused on finding effective replacements for fuel. With the desperate need to combat decades of damage, regulations and laws have been placed to prohibit the use of fossil fuels. Although electric cars have been increasing in prevalence in society, the sudden restriction over the use of fossil fuels coincides with the launch of industry-leading electric planes, pioneered by Wright Electrics. Since the 2000s, Wright Electric Inc has been working on innovative non-kerosene-powered commercial airlines which were finally released for commercial use in 2028. With effective agreements between Wright Electric Inc, the United Nations and the Environmental Protection Administration, the use of commercial aircraft that depend on non-renewable energy sources has been discounted around most of the world. This regulation has caused a major disruption within the transportation industry, especially aviation, as most companies do not have the means to secure electric or sustainable models. This quick changeover has also impacted the way in which the majority of the population views long-distance travel. What was once accessible in all parts of the world, has now distinctively reduced inaccessibility and travel routes.
