Today:Today: Most of the world’s energy supply comes from fossil and nuclear

sources - cheap but polluting

In the coming years:In the coming years: To meet increasing global demands for energy and to

allow for the depletion of fossil fuel supplies, alternative “clean” alternative “clean” energy sources,energy sources, which do not

depend on fossil fuels and which have a tolerable environmental impact, must be developedmust be developed
