30. Fossil Fuels – Nature’s Battery
Today’s Energy
83 % = fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal)
17 % = nuclear and all other sources
By 2035
81 % = fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal)
19 %= nuclear and all other sources
Groups of scientists are working on alternative energy sources to oil and gas. But, we have enough fossil fuel resources for the next 50 years and more to fuel the world. There will be research successes in improved green technology that move us toward other sources, like nuclear energy did a couple of decades ago.

31. Demand for electricity worldwide 1970
Although oil and gas will probably constitute a large portion of the global energy picture in the next 30 years, any solution must also include alternative energy technologies. .

32. Demand for electricity worldwide 2005
Research at companies, universities and national laboratories are pioneering this field with the hope of creating technologies that are both sustainable and economically competitive with today’s fossil fuels. While wind, solar and biofuels appear to be among the most promising, significant breakthroughs are still required to make them viable sources of future energy supply.
The wind has its own mind – it blows where and when it wants. Similarly, the sun only shines during the day and is most intense in sparsely populated areas. How do effectively we transport this energy from such remote areas to big cities? How can we efficiently store energy generated during the day for use in homes at night? The challenge for pioneers in alternative energies will be to bridge these supply limitations with a 24-hour demand for electricity throughout the world. This means making our electricity grid more efficient and streamlined while developing storage systems to allow wind and solar energy to be saved for times of peak use.
Another source of alternative energy in the future may come from the world’s vast reserves of clean natural gas. Currently, much of our electricity comes from burning coal in power plants, releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide and other gases. Despite advancements in “clean coal” technology, which generates cleaner and more efficient electricity, alternatives to coal will surely be part of tomorrow’s solution. New technologies are beginning to unlock vast reservoirs of natural gas in the United States and Canada, making it both a cheap and clean alternative to coal. Natural gas has many benefits compared to coal - it is generally cleaner and safer to produce, it is more easily transportable over long distances, and it releases less carbon dioxide and other pollutants for the same amount of energy produced. It is likely that meeting tomorrows energy needs will require not just one, but all of these alternatives working alongside traditional fossil fuels. Over the next 30 years, oil and gas companies will play an important role in the development of alternative energy sources, supplying both the investment money and expertise needed in everything from engineering research to project management
