  2008   Up to Industrial Revolution, we had used renewable energy such as wood for our daily use. Start of fossil fuel utilization bought us comfortable life style, rapid growth of our population and global heating. But we have used almost half of recoverable oil reserves and about one third of natural gas.  Regardless of global heating, it is evident that we have to come back to renewable energy again in the next century. Conservation and improvement of efficiency can only prolong to reach such status. Therefore,  we have to develop new technology such as low cost solar cell and or artificial photosynthesis until such time. Nuclear, bio, hydraulics, wind might not be sufficient enough to fill our need until we develop, low cost solar cells. Therefore, we have to fill our need by coal utilization. Again new technology will be needed to avoid global heating by  sequestration of carbon dioxide in ocean. One possibility is to convert carbon dioxide to calcium bicarbonate by neutralization using lime stone. For detail, please read Apocalypse on Global Heating.
