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
