This report examines various energy resources to ensure that humanity has ample supplies for future use. Fossil fuels are forecast to be depleted within a century, and the world’s search for new technologies and sources (such as fracking) continues to negatively impact the environment. This report outlines various alternative energy sources available with focus on jet stream and tidal energy. Our goal is to survey the current state of the world’s energy basket and develop visionary suggestions for the future.
