Abstract

This present survey looks at two peer reviewed articles on the topic of future energy resources. Both articles examine a sustainable solution to increasingly severe climate change and energy security. One (Jacobson and Delucchi, 2011) explores the feasibility of energy produced by wind, water, and sunlight (WWS) including characteristics of WWS energy, future energy demand, availability of WWS resources, numbers of WWS infrastructure needed, and area and materials. The other article describes status quo and potential problems of global nuclear energy worldwide (Mez,2012). The author details current statistics of nuclear plants under construction and cancelled, length of time to build and operate nuclear infrastructure, and costs.
