We rely heavily on electricity and gas as forms of energy to power our world.  As our consumption of energy in these forms intersects with rising costs and a dwindling supply, businesses and governments are faced with the task of finding ways to cut expenditure, as well as harness alternative means of energy production.  The need for "green energy" which can be extracted, generated, or consumed without negatively impacting the environment is an important current issue.  Promising sustainable energy solutions include wind power, hydroelectricity, solar energy, and geothermal energy.
