The paper begins by looking at the fossil fuel problem - the depletion of these fuels and the pollution associated with these
fuels. It also looks at the problem with foreign suppliers of oil - the instability and pressures that are continually placed on political and militarily considerations in those areas. The paper then moves on to valid alternatives for fossil fuel, namely; photovoltaic technology, fuel cell technologies, use of the windmill and hydrogen power. The paper concludes by proposing solutions to the problem of fossil fuel reliance.
