The research makes a decision model for the selection of energy resources for China in the future by the method of Hierarchical Decision Modeling (HDM) by Dundar F. Kocaoglu. The result of the research indicates that rankings o f energy resources are that renewable energy ranks the 1st, coal ranks the 2nd, nuclear energy ranks the 3rd, natural gas ranks the 4th and petroleum ranks the last.The sensitivit y analysis reflects that the most criti cal criterion in the energy selection is current energy infrastructure.
