Since this question is in the Fossil Fuel Category of Answers, we who are answering the question might assume that the person who asked the question is primarily interested in those fuels and their alternatives. If not, we should include other sources of energy including Nuclear, Wind, Hydroelectricity and Solar.
Remember also that Hydrogen, although it can be used as a fuel in car engines and gas turbines, is not an energy source. The hydrogen economy talks about using Hydrogen as a distribution and storage medium, but not as a fuel or energy source.
