Il mondo moderno dipende ancora pesantemente dal carbone, dal petrolio e dal gas naturale per procurarsi l'energia di cui ha bisogno. I carburanti fossili non sono però rinnovabili. Questo significa che queste fonti di energia tenderanno a esaurirsi, diventando sempre più costose e più difficili da reperire. Ai ritmi di consumo attuali, il carbone potrebbe durare ancora un secolo e il metano forse due. Dall'altra parte, abbiamo le energie rinnovabili, come quella solare o quella eolica.
