With all the concern today about global warming and climate change due to the use of fossil fuels, I thought it would be timely to do a blog on alternative clean renewable energy sources that could mitigate the climate crisis.   After a short introduction to define some terms and to establish the need for clean renewable energy, I will discuss clean renewable energy sources in use and/or in development today, then look at global energy source consumption history: 2000 - 2021, energy source projections to 2030, potential future longer-term clean renewable energy sources, and finish with any conclusions I can draw. I will list my primary sources at the end.   Introduction One of the world’s ongoing critical requirements is to produce energy for electricity, heating and cooling, and transportation.
