Read the following text and fill in each gap with a suitable word based on the information of the text: In a speech at the 90th science congress, internationally acknowledged scientist and former Indian President Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam mentioned a very important aspect of this mankind's future energy crisis. He pointed out that the era of wood and bio-mass has almost come $\to an$ end. The age of oil and natural gas would soon be over within the next few decades. Massive burning of world's coal reserves may lead $\to a worldwide ecological disaster because coal burning emits the highest amount of carbon in the$ atmosphere. So according $\to$ Kalam, the only solution that mankind can look $\to is the massive use of solar energy in future because it has some advantages over other forms of renewable$ energies. Now, why has Kalam put so much importance $\to the issue of$ energy? The energy sources have always been a major factor of change throughout history. The world's petroleum consumption has increased from 3 billion barrels annually in 1930 $\to 37 billion barrels annually$ today. In the next quarter century, the world's population is expected $\to be about 8 billion which is 30 percent higher than$ today. Developing countries will grow their economics about two $\times faster than industrialized$ countries. Global economic growth is expected $\to continue at 3 percent per$ year. Consequently, the global demand for energy will grow at about 1.7 percent per year on an average. It indicates a 50-percent rise of energy consumption by 2030. If the world's daily petroleum consumption is 100 million barrels now, it will rise $\to 150 million barrels by that$ time. The present reserve of hydrocarbon energy resources is limited and it will not be sufficient $\to meet the future energy challenges of the$ world. Hence, leading industrial countries have taken initiatives $\to use alternative energy sources mainly known as green or renewable energy$ sources. The bottom line of Kalam's speech indicates the concern of mankind in the 21st century. Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam was not only a scientist but also the President of India. At the 90th science congress, he (a)--- a speech on the aspect of mankind's future energy crisis. He (b)--- pressure on the (c)--- of solar energy. (d)--- $\to the$ history, the energy sources have always been a major factor of change all the general people should have a (e)--- about the fact.
