Alternative energy sources needed

The International Energy Agency has recently released theWorld Energy Outlook that predicts a pretty grim picture. If you don't want to shell out the €120 for a PDF file then you can read a summary here.

Unfortunately, the report suggests nuclear energy as an alternative. With all the geopolitical chaos over nuclear energy programs turning into weapons programs in North Korea and Iran combined with the cost overruns that are normally associated with the construction of plants I think we should look elsewhere. Regardless, the worlds energy needs are not going to decrease any time soon and we need some solutions.
