Abstract
This paper provides an overview of the main energy issues facing developed and developing countries. After a preliminary presentation on present and future world energy consumption, along with a discussion on the main problems related to energy production and use, an assessment is made of the innovative renewable energy technologies that will be able to satisfy future energy requirements while finding contemporaneous compatibility with environmental protection objectives. A look is also given at the future prospects for nuclear fission and fusion energies. Finally, a description is given of the opportunities offered by the rational use of energy in the industrial, residential and transportation sectors. Political, managerial and institutional issues are not addressed, though these are believed to have an even greater impact than technological issues in the resolution of energy problems.
