Energy production creates a number of problems for humanity. The most problematic energy sources are fossil fuels, which produce greenhouse gas emissions that increase the carbon dioxide concentration of the atmosphere. This accelerates the planet's greenhouse effect and results in global warming and climate change, which have drastic consequences for life on Earth.

The simplest solutions for the problems posed by global energy production are saving energy and using renewable energy sources efficiently. Renewable energy sources can be favored by increasing taxation on non-renewable energy production, by giving benefits for renewable energy producers, and by changing legislation to support the efficient use of renewable energy sources.

All of us can lower our energy consumption by making conscious choices about what we consume and how we move. Industry also has to become more efficient and conserve more energy. This can be achieved by developments in industrial technology.
