Prospective

Sources not yet in widespread commercial use, including nuclear fusion, thorium fuel cycles, methane hydrates and ocean thermal energy conversion, each demonstrated at pilot or experimental scale but not yet a mainstream contributor to world energy supply. Belongs here: any source whose technology readiness keeps it short of commercial deployment. Does not belong here: nuclear fission, which is commercially deployed worldwide and is grouped under Nuclear Fission; a source that reaches commercial-scale deployment should move out of this group in a future pass.
