If we talk about geothermal or wind, all these other sources of renewable energy are limited in their quantity. The total power needs of the humans on Earth is approximately 16 terawatts (A terawatt is a trillion watts). In the year 2020 it is expected to grow to 20 terawatts. The sunshine on the solid part of the Earth is 120,000 terawatts. From this perspective, energy from the sun is virtually unlimited.
