Automobiles use fossil fuels
extensively. Fossil fuel production may reach in its peak in the year 2015.
Thereafter fossil fuel production will decline gradually. A maximum of 100 more
years, fossil fuels can serve as an energy source for human kind. After that,
only alternate energy sources will help. So a serious study in the field of
alternate energy sources is required. Water power is an option. Hydroelectric
power plants use water stored in reservoirs and tidal plants use ocean
tides. But these options may harm
environment badly. Nuclear power is another option. Nuclear power is obtained
from nuclear fission reactions. Uraniun-235 isotope is used here. But safety
concern is a big issue in nuclear power plant.
The solar energy is another option. It is environment friendly and
readily available anywhere in the world. Wind power is an option but equipments
are very much expensive. Geothermal energy is an option where energy is
extracted from the molten interior of the earth.
