Abstract

Energy generated by humans covers populated areas of our planet and ensures their vitality. It has reached 5% of photosynthesis energy, which feeds all flesh on the earth but has not reached two-ten-thousandths of the solar flux; in other words, on the space scale, it is practically undistinguishable. Modern tendencies and forecasts of the development of world energy generation were discussed at a session of the RAS Presidium in July 2008. The paper presented at this session and materials of the subsequent discussion are published below.
