clean energy

Electricity and power are so expensive, you can usually only flip on the light switch to read your electricity bill. But that may all be changing. There have been doings afoot and things a transpiring on the clean energy front.

Finding energy that can meet mankind's present needs, while not jeopardizing the energy needs of future generations has been a veritable ballet for more than a decade. The current energy needs of the planet and the future energy needs of the planet have played against each other in a delicate symphony. Literally thousands of the best minds in the world have been working on this dilemma.

Several ideas have surfaced as far as clean, sustainable energy sources. Biofuels, wood pellets, manure, ethanol, etc.) solar power, wind power, wave power, and tidal power have all been paraded across the world stage, each with varying degrees of acceptance. As this issue pushes more and more towards the forefront of our collective consciousness, these clean energy solutions will become more accepted.
