The extensive global changes and achievements of the Industrial Revolutions combined with the ever growing utilization of plentiful fossil energies are considered as a challenge for today —and even more so for tomorrow. After a short historical review of the technological developments and some remarks on climate, interesting changes of the paradigm of energy supply and usage are explained, including possible future developments. Some of the ideas and the consequences of the new analysis (“Net Zero 2050”) of the International Energy Agency are presented and discussed.
