The sun (image from SOHO spacecraft)
We have these major sources of energy available to us, in no particular order and not including fossil fuels that we currently rely on for the majority of our energy today:

These sources of power far exceed our current and likely future energy requirements. Also steadily increasing energy efficiency, due to improved machine design and increasing cultural awareness, will become a significant factor in our energy use.
