By far the most abundant source of energy BY FAR is sunlight. More energy from sunlight hits the earth in one single hour than all humans in the world use in one entire year. Although current solar panels are very good at producing electricity from sunlight, they are expensive. Also, many things need chemical fuels (gasoline, oil, etc.) because they can be stored and transported. Much work is being done on how to use sunlight to make fuels (that's what plants do with photosynthesis, but very inefficiently). We need to do a LOT more research to find new cheap methods to use solar energy! Of the fossil fuels it would be coal, and then natural gas (methane).
