Alternative Energy
|
|
 Most of the
world's electrical energy is generated by combusting fossil fuels, and this
combustion is changing the world's climate. In addition, the world's oil is
running out and dependence on oil from a few nations means political and
economic instability. These problems have led to a strong resurgence of
interest in alternative energy sources. Several alternative energy
strategies are undergoing revolutions. |
