I don't understand whether you are asking about Fuel, Energy or Source of Energy. Industrial Revolution is usually counted with "Coal" as the Source of Fuel and Energy. So, you can understand the Major shift was to use "Oil" as a primary source of Fuel and it's still considered Primary. There are a number of other sources, but yet none can be considered as a Primary source but "Oil". Nuclear Energy has it's own merit and demerits. If a nuclear plant liquidates....it's hell of a problem. The ideal source for us is to use Solar Energy for Fuel and Power. But it's not established yet because of some Political and Diplomatic reasons. I am actually confused with your question.
