This paper reviews global energy use in the past few decades and projections for future use based on the trends in recent years. The paper also reviews the present status of available energy resources and projections of how long they are expected to last in the future. Based on the future global energy needs, the availability of conventional resources and potential global climate change, renewable energy may have to provide for as much as 50% of the energy needs by 2050. Finally, this paper describes the present status of renewable energy use and describes renewable energy might provide the energy needs of the future.
