Energy
We have these major sources of energy available to us: (in no particular order and not including fossil fuel)
- Solar: photovoltaic, solar thermal, solar power satellite
- Wind: Land-based wind turbine, off-shore wind turbine; jet-stream sky windmills
- Ocean: wave, tidal, ocean currents
- Nuclear: fission and possibly fusion in the future
- Geothermal: volcanic geothermal, 'deep rock' geothermal
- Biomass: vegetable oil, compost methane, burning of plant material waste, sustainable wood, animal dung and rubbish
These sources of power absolutely dwarf what is available from fossil fuel.
