| Abstract | ||
| A statistical review of energy consumption and generation both globally and per capita in some selected countries is given. Future forecast of the energy situation as regards sources and consumption is discussed. The ecology imposed limit on energy generation and consumption is estimated and discussed. Various energy sources as regards reserves, economically recoverable portions and locations are reviewed. Fossil fuels: coal; oil and natural gas are reviewed, with forecast life time and comments. Nuclear fuels both for fission and fusion reactors are discussed and commented upon. New and renewable energy sources are carefully discussed: hydro; solar; geothermal; tide; wave; wind and ocean thermal energy, with due comment on each. | ||
