We are in an energy crisis and we will have to do something quickly. The world’s energy resources are limited, and fuels are rapidly running out. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left, but experts say that there is only enough coal for 450 years, enough natural gas for 50 years and that oil might run out in 30 years. The tragedy is that fuels are too valuable to waste on the production of electricity. If we don’t start conserving these things now, it will be too late. And nuclear power is the only real alternative.
