Energy is the engine of human progress and human history is marked by the quantity and characteristics of available resources. In the last century, with the world population quadrupling and the use of new technologies, energy consumption has accelerated dramatically. The combustion of fossil fuels has increased the concentration of "greenhouse gases" and caused global temperatures to rise, resulting in climate change. Europe, a leader in the fight against climate change, has a modest influence globally, and it is illusory to think that there are now effective solutions that can be shared by all countries for resolving environmental problems quickly. Certainly, electric cars are not the answer. We will therefore have to adapt to the effects of climate change for many decades to come, even if scientific progress discovers energy systems which are unlimited and "cleaner" than today.
