COUNTRY'S ENERGY RESOURCES

By Jane Jones

General Characteristics of Agricultural, Industrial, and Information Age Energy Resources

• Agricultural Age Energy Sources:

  Renewable energy sources: solar, wind, water, humans/slavery, animals, etc.

• Industrial Age Energy Sources:

  Non-renewable, fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) and nuclear fission (uranium and plutonium fuels). These fuels pollute more, and once extracted from the earth, they are gone.

• Information Age Energy Sources:

  Eventual return (once fossil fuels are exhausted) to renewable energy sources (solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, ocean thermal, and biomass)--as in agricultural age, but using more sophisticated technologies to tap these energy sources; also nuclear fusion (from fusing of hydrogen atoms in water) once the technology is perfected in future; lag in transition to these alternative energy sources--perhaps into next age.
