photo Predicted energy flow requirements in 2050 paint a marginally rosier picture. According to this U.S. Department of Energy model, promoting hydrogen fueled vehicles, we’ll be using far more energy in 48 years, but we’ll waste a lesser portion of it.  We’ll derive significantly greater portions of our power from biomass, geothermal, solar, wind, and, of course, hydrogen (H2), itself created with a mix of other energy sources, primarily coal. To power our industries and transportation, we will still rely almost entirely on gas and oil.
