There are a lot of energy that we can exploit if we seek only to research and develop the necessary technologies to do so. We can get of fossil fuels and the old electric networks turning to alternatives to these energy sources.
One of these resources in alternative energy is wind power. Wind continue to develop, are progressively more energy efficient and less expensive. "Wind farms" were set up in many countries, and they have even become more strategically placed over time so that they do not jeopardize wind as old birds.
Another source of alternative energy is that which is best known: solar energy. It is the manufacture of solar cells that congregate and concentrate energy directly from the Sun and bring electricity or, in some cases, hot water. As wind power, solar energy creates absolutely zero pollution.
The energy of ocean waves is considered by Governments and investors such as having a potential huge energy generation. A generator in France has been in operation for many years now and is considered a great success, and Irish and Scottish run experimental facilities.
Hydroelectric power has been with us for some time and where it is implemented, it is a powerful generator of electricity and cleaner than a grid. However, there are some limitations to the availability of good places to put in place a large dam. Many of the River race, or small and localized, generators were in place lately because of this limitation.
Geothermal energy is extremely abundant, since it is located directly beneath our feet, a few kilometres below the Earth's surface. This energy is produced by heating water through fantastically hot molten core of the Earth. The water turns into steam, which can be exploited and used to drive turbine engines which in turn generate electricity. Large amounts of research and development must be listening to geothermal energy.
The energies of waste gas, mainly methane, reverse the relationship usual energy-pollution by the creation of energy waste in landfills and some air pollutants. This gas is used in fuel cells and can be used in standard gasoline generators.
Ethanol is a substitute for gasoline and is created from such things as wheat, sugar cane, grapes, strawberries, maize and even of chips and wood cellulose. There is a controversy over this fuel as never really economic fate or practical except in very localized areas, but technologies for the extraction and admixturing are continually be refined.
Biodiesel energy is created from the oil contained in plants. Until now, commercial biodiesel stores have been created by soy, rapeseed and sunflower oils. At the time of this writing, the biodiesel is usually produced by individuals of entrepreneurial spirit or those who want to experiment with alternative energy, but the commercial interest of companies is on the rise. It consumes a lot cleaner than diesel oil.
Atomic Energy is created in atomic power plants using the process of nuclear fission. This energy is extremely effective and can generate huge amounts of power. There is concern from some people on what to do with the relatively small amount of waste produced atomic energy provides offshore, since it is radioactive and takes hundreds of years to disintegrate in safety.
