Report on energy as of one of the most important issues of the twenty-first century. It discuses how countries deal with the composition of their energy portfolio, consistent with the endowment of energy resources, technologies and social, economical and environmental impacts, like CO2 emissions. In detail, the diversification of energy sources is treated. The role of non-carbon emitting sources (e.g. nuclear power) and renewable energy sources (e.g. hydroelectricity, geothermal, wind, biomass, solar electricity), and the R&D needed to realize their full potential are all considered and supported with numbers. It morover presents ways to improve the efficiency and conservation in the technology through minimizing adverse environmental impact of energy industries on climate change, and pollution of air, water, soil and biota.
