Nuclear is definitely going to be present, as will hydroelectric, both of which are already well established, wind power is already becoming popular and a great deal of research is being focused of solar energy. Another hopeful is the harnessing of tidal action and waves.

The holy grail of future power production is a commercially viable fusion reactor, the realization of which could be just around the corner or decades away. The JET fusion experiment managed to produce 16MW of power, 65% of the power used to start the fusion reaction.

What are the different energy sources that are used to deliver energy to your community?

The energy sources that I am most excited about all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, and Hydroelectric Energy sources.


How can solar energy replace conventional sources of energy in various fields?

Solar energy is a renewable energy source. It is sourced from the sun, which in human timeframes has a long life for energy output. Solar energy is therefore an almost infinite energy source. Most convential energy sources (uranium, coal, oil, gas, etc.) are unrenewable. Such energy sources are sourced from the earth and so are finite. The timeframes for the "finite-ness" of conventional energy sources vary and are disputed. Conventional energy sources also produce negative by-products through their conversion to thermal energy, kinetic energy, and electric energy, such as radioactive waste, sulphur, CO2, etc. Solar energy is a clean (i.e. minimal negative by-products) but diffuse energy source. Current technology developed to capture solar energy is inefficient in capturing and concentrating the energy for distribution and use as thermal energy, and electrical energy, compared to conventional sources.

What are the ways to make sure there will be enough energy for the future?

In the most general terms, that would be: (1) Find new energy sources or make better use of the existing energy sources; and (2) Use less energy.

Which energy sources is most likely to have a negative effect on air quality?

Burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil is most likely to have a negative effect on air quality. These sources release pollutants like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can lead to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues. Transitioning to cleaner energy sources like renewable energy can help improve air quality.


What energy source do you think people will use the most in the future?

As always . . . the Sun. The light can power solar-powered generators. The wind for windmill generators is caused by heat from the Sun, and other factors. The Sun's energy enable plants to make food, and the plants put out oxygen as a waste product which allows us to breathe . . . it is from plants that the Earth has ever had much oxygen, at all.


What is the most common alternative energy source?

If there is a lunar station how will it receive power?

A future lunar station is most likely going to rely on sun energy for power. This will most likely demand placement near the poles where sunlight exists around the clock.
