Energy resources

Global energy demand is increasing all the time, but to generate this energy we are using up many of the earth's resources as well as causing pollution and severe environmental damage.
How can we resolve this dilemma? Are we capable of replacing traditional sources of energy such as coal and oil with renewable energy such as wind, solar and wave power? Can we reach global agreements to limit the environmental impact of energy production? Are we prepared to pay a higher price for our energy? These are some of the questions we are going to have to answer in the near the future. BBC Bitesize has an introductory unit on Energy. Greenfield Geography has an excellent list of case studies on this and other topics. S-cool also has some information on resource use in general.
