Abstract: What will the energy future look like? Rapid population growth and industrialization means humans will burn ever-growing amounts of energy, thereby depleting existing resources and increasing pollution. Most of this energy in the next 40 years will be from fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas.
- How much fossil fuel is left?
- How long will it last?
- How much pollution will it create?
- Is “going green” the solution?
- What is the cost to begin and complete a transition to the energy sources, storage, distribution, application, and use that will prevail in the future?
