摘　　要：It is impossible to overstate the importance of energy.Just thinking about where humanity would be without it may be enough to demonstrate this point.Like in the past,energy will play a vital role in shaping future industries,cities,nations,and the world.That is why we believe that energy is a critical factor in shaping future paradigms in any target entity or world.To have a better understanding of the role that energy plays in the world today and in the future,in this article,we briefly look at the definition of energy and its different forms,and review some data related to energy consumption in the world and the United States.Furthermore,as a source of clean energy,we believe the future of nuclear power technology,despite the challenges it faces,is an important option for this country and the rest of the world to meet future energy needs without emitting CO(carbon monoxide)and CO2(carbon dioxide),or other GHGs(greenhouse gases),and other atmospheric pollutants and it is more efficient among its other comparable sources of renewable energies,such as solar,wind,etc.Globally,renewables made up 29 percent of electricity generation in 2020,much of it from hydro-power(16.8 percent).A record amount of over 256 GW of renewable power capacity was added globally during 2020 and continues to be the focal point for climate and energy solutions.Demand for electricity is direct function of population growth globally and is also driven by the present century’s extraordinary technological developments.
