On the question of strategy of the modern energy development

The article provides an analysis of the state of modern power engineering. The current dependence of the modern civilization on hydrocarbon resources has been presented. The author shows lack of prospects in using hydrocarbon energy sources. The dependence of the stable and non-equilibrium state in various systems of producing useful energy has been stated. The dynamics of growth of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere over the past 35 years and the dynamics of the global consumption of natural energy resources has been shown. Analysis of the technical systems designed for the use of hydrocarbon fuels, exhibited lack of prospects for this branch of industry. The necessity of a radical change in the community as to the energy paradigm has been proved
