Future Sources of Renewable Energy

Countries that are currently highly dependent on fossil fuel should focus all their efforts toward harnessing renewable energy sources. Although the cost of production is still high, more effort would 

Different sources (including waste) are being investigated for extracting energy. For example, Ozmotech, a major Australian company, has developed a pyrolysis process under inert-atmosphere to convert 400,000 tons of plastic waste into 350 million liters of diesel per annum (Ecos, 2006).
