10 years is too short a time for a major shift to for instance nuclear. We also do not see much of a move in that direction.
Wind and solar, if combined, are developing, but not yet enough to keep up with increases in demand. At current rates of new deployment they would still be insignificant in 10 years.
A few new hydro projects are under way. But they will not be enough to change our main mix.
Sorry, but Green energy is not happening in a scale that will bring it to even 20% world wide in 10 years. Oddly, however, wind is one technology that could ramp up to 20% over about 15 years.
It just is not happening yet. 17% 1 Vote -
We won%26#039;t see much of a change in 10 years. We will still be dependent on oil and coal, but nuclear will form a larger part of our energy mix. Solar and wind will be used more in total kwh, but will decrease as a percentage, as our increasing energy demand is growing faster than alternative energy capacity. Therefore we will rely on firm (on demand) greenhouse gas-free energy, and nuclear and hydro are the only environmentally friendly sources of that.
Perhaps in 20-50 years, we can start reducing coal and oil dependence, and rely more on nuclear and fusion.
Unless we can figure out how to efficiently store electricity, solar and wind will never be firm energy and therefore can we can not depend on them. As long as we demand the lights to come on when we flip the switch, we will need firm energy. 17% 1 Vote -
About the same as today, Thanks to our wonderful %26quot;Environmentalists%26quot; that killed our Nuclear Industry. It will take many years to get back on track with the energy plan our engineers had us on before the ignorant Press and %26quot;Environmentalists%26quot; killed it.

The source will not change in 10 years. It will take up to 30 years for any dramatic change in energy source.

Don%26#039;t expect any major shifts in 10 years, just baby steps.

It will still be oil and coal.

Coal. It will be shifting away from oil though.
