This project analyzed current energy policy and energy production dilemmas. We evaluated other technologies that are developing, which are designed to resolve those issues. Technologies mainly discussed include fuel cells, nuclear fission and fusion, and coal gasification. New policies were proposed based upon the merits of emerging technologies and addressing the most urgent shortcomings of current ones.
