How to solve the Future Energy Crisis

What is Energy?
Energy is the ability to do work, and there are two types: potential energy and kinetic energy. When energy is stored up and waiting to do things, we call it potential energy; "potential" simply means the energy has the ability to do something useful later on. When stored energy is being used to do something, we call it kinetic energy; "kinetic" means movement and, generally, when stored energy is being used up, it is making things move or happens.

How Much energy do we use?     United States uses  4.3 trillion kilowatts hours per year out of the 14 trillion kilowatts hours per year that the world produces... The 6 billion people on earth currently uses 16 terrawatts a year annually.
  How much will we need?     With the current population of 6.53 billion people with a growth rate of 1.14 percent, were are expected to double in 70 years as for the United States, has 306 million people a decline growth of .949 percent. As for our power, we will need more.   Energy Crisis?      Is there enough energy to go around for the world and would this last. Developing countries holds most of the world's population, about 5 of the 6 billion people, and are growing faster than developed countries.  Developed countries individuals consume 7.5 kilowatts annually whereas less developed countries use 1. The populations will doubles from 6 billion to 12 billion in 54 years with a 1.3% annual growth rates.  Also developing countries are rising there standards of living which would increase the use of energy. If the populations doubles the would energy rate of 2.6 kW per person would increase to 6kW.
Alternatives?     As we know, petroleum will only make the global energy crisis worst... With peak oil on the horizon set to come before 2020, we know the world's energy will have to come from other sources. We're going to have to rely on more clean and alternatives meet the demands from the people on earth. The alternatives are solar power, wind power, geothermal power, tidal power, hydroelectric  power, and nuclear power. Many of these alternatives are clean and have a smaller impact on the environment as petroleum and coal.  Not one is the answer to our energy crisis but we are going to need a combination to meet the world's demand.
Nuclear Power...     Nuclear power is clean and can be made in a reactor by nuclear fission or fusion. Nuclear fission is the primary nuclear source today which controls a reaction that splits the nucleus of an atom. Nuclear fusion is the reaction in which new radioactive material is created.  This is the same as the reaction taking place on the sun which gives the universe and earth tremendous amounts of energy.
  Nuclear History      Nuclear fission was first experimentally achieved by Enrico Fermi in 1934 when his team bombarded uranium with neutrons. In 1938, German chemists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, along with Austrian physicists Lise Meitner and Meitner's nephew, Otto Robert Frisch, conducted experiments with the products of neutron-bombarded uranium.  In the United States, where Fermi and Szilard had both emigrated, this led to the creation of the first man-made reactor, known as Chicago Pile-1, which achieved criticality on December 2, 1942. This work became part of the Manhattan Project, which built large reactors at the Hanford Site (formerly the town of Hanford, Washington) to breed plutonium for use in the first nuclear weapons, which were used on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A parallel uranium enrichment effort also was pursued.  After World War II, the fear that reactor research would encourage the rapid spread of nuclear weapons and technology, combined with what many scientists thought would be a long road of development, created a situation in which reactor research was attempted to be kept under strict government control and classification. In addition, most reactor research centered on purely military purposes.
    On June 27, 1954, the USSR's Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant became the world's first nuclear power plant to generate electricity for a power grid, and produced around 5 megawatts of electric power. The world's first commercial nuclear power station, Calder Hall in Sellafield, England was opened in 1956 with an initial capacity of 50 MW (later 200 MW). During the 1970s was the last built nuclear plant built in the United States.
Notable Accidents Chynople and Three Mile Island-Unlike the Three Mile Island accident, the much more serious Chernobyl accident did not increase regulations affecting Western reactors since the Chernobyl reactors were of the problematic RBMK design only used in the Soviet Union, for example lacking "robust" containment buildings.Many of these reactors are still in use today. However, changes were made in both the reactors themselves (use of low enriched uranium) and in the control system (prevention of disabling safety systems) to reduce the possibility of a duplicate accident   The Best Way to Resolve the Energy Crisis Reduce the consumption
