Fossil Fuels Dominate Energy Supply, Threatening Climate and Fuel Shortages
The paper talks about the problem of having enough energy in the future due to concerns about CO2 causing global warming and fuel supply issues. It shows that most of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels but there's a push for other sources like renewable energies. However, without better ways to store wind and solar energy, renewables might not grow much past 7-8%. The study looks at the relationship between energy use and income, suggesting that we need new technology for storage to make renewables more reliable. The researchers propose exploring nuclear energy further to find ways to use it in smaller and more versatile applications beyond large power plants.
