Phakathi nesimo sokushintsha kwesimo sezulu emhlabeni jikelele, amandla avuselelekayo abe yinto ebalulekile ekuguquleni ukukhiqizwa kwamandla kanye namaphethini okusetshenziswa kwawo. Ohulumeni kanye namabhizinisi emhlabeni wonke batshala imali eningi ocwaningweni, ekuthuthukisweni, ekwakhiweni nasekukhuthazeni imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo. Ngokusho kwedatha evela kwi-International Energy Agency (IEA), isabelo samandla avuselelekayo ekusetshenzisweni kwamandla sikhula kancane kancane emhlabeni jikelele, njengoba amandla omoya kanye nelanga eba imithombo emikhulu kagesi.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuthuthwa ngogesi, njengendlela ebalulekile yokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwezimoto nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yomoya, kukhula ngokushesha emhlabeni wonke. Abakhiqizi bezimoto abaningi bethula izimoto zikagesi, kanti ohulumeni basebenzisa uchungechunge lwezikhuthazo zokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwezimoto nokukhuthaza ukwamukelwa kwezimoto ezintsha zamandla.
Kulesi simo, iziteshi zokushaja, ezisebenza njenge "iziteshi zikaphethiloli" zezimoto zikagesi, ziye zaba yisixhumanisi esibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwezokuthutha zikagesi. Ukwanda kweziteshi zokushaja kuthinta ngqo ukulula nokuthandwa kwezimoto zikagesi. Eminyakeni yamuva nje, inani elikhulu leziteshi zokushaja lakhiwe emhlabeni wonke ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zokushaja zabasebenzisi bezimoto zikagesi. Okuphawuleka kakhulu ukuthi iziteshi eziningi zokushaja zihlanganisa imithombo yamandla avuselelekayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe intuthuko eqhubekayo yezokuthutha zikagesi. Isibonelo, kwezinye izifunda, iziteshi zokushaja zisebenza ngamandla elanga noma omoya, ziguqula amandla ahlanzekile ngqo abe ugesi ukuze zinikeze izinsizakalo zokushaja amandla aluhlaza ezimotweni zikagesi. Lokhu kuhlanganiswa akugcini nje ngokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni ezimotweni zikagesi kodwa futhi kunciphisa ukuthembela emithonjeni yamandla yendabuko, okuqhuba kokubili ukuguqulwa kwamandla kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwezokuthutha zikagesi. Noma kunjalo, ukuhlanganiswa kwamandla avuselelekayo neziteshi zokushaja kubhekene nezinselele nezithiyo, okuhlanganisa izindleko zobuchwepheshe, ubunzima ekwakhiweni kwezikhungo zokushaja, kanye nokumiswa kwezinsizakalo zokushaja. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izici ezifana nezimo zenqubomgomo kanye nokuncintisana kwemakethe nakho kuthinta izinga kanye nesivinini sokuhlanganiswa phakathi kweziteshi zokushaja nemithombo yamandla avuselelekayo.
Ekuphetheni, umhlaba okwamanje usesikhathini esibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni okusheshayo kwamandla avuselelekayo kanye nokuthuthwa kukagesi. Ngokuhlanganisa iziteshi zokushaja nemithombo yamandla avuselelekayo, ugqozi olusha lungafakwa ekwandeni nasekuthuthukisweni okusimeme kokuthuthwa kukagesi, kuthathwe izinyathelo ezinkulu ekufezeni umbono wokuthuthwa kwamandla ahlanzekile.
