SUMMARY

The ultimate energy source for 2019 and beyond is identified as fusion energy, which is derived from the sun and is essential for sustaining life on Earth. The discussion emphasizes that traditional energy sources like oil are becoming obsolete, and highlights the importance of harnessing renewable sources such as solar, wind, and wave energy. However, these are viewed as temporary solutions compared to the long-term potential of fusion energy. The conversation also touches on the role of thermodynamics in energy conversion and the need for innovative energy solutions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fusion energy principles
  • Knowledge of renewable energy sources like solar and wind
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics in energy conversion
  • Awareness of current energy trends and technologies
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advancements in fusion energy technology
  • Explore the efficiency of solar energy systems
  • Investigate the potential of wave energy conversion
  • Study the impact of thermodynamics on energy systems
USEFUL FOR

Energy researchers, environmental scientists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable energy solutions.

Thinking of 2019 and what kind of information we are being exposed of; What do you think is the most ultimate energy source that should be used from now on?

Hi slomeim
Kind of a vague question, don't you think.

I would think that the "ultimate" energy source is still the sun, as it keeps the Earth at a reasonable temperature for plants and animals, including us, to be able to live on it.

ESL. How we are harvesting, converting and using energy, oil is most likely not being used as a energy source in the future. Of course thermodynamics physics is involved. To clear it up; the sun. wind, waves or geo. Or some other energy source which is to cone?
 
Fusion and similar phenomena. Also some rather esoteric sources I can't discuss here now. Wind and solar are weak temporary solutions.
 
All energy humans have ever used ultimately came from fusion, so there you go - its fusion
