Other sources of energy worth noting are the extensive wind farms, solar projects, and related emerging unconventional technologies. These renewable resources provide only small quantities of energy to the U.S. economy as of this writing. 

The simple fact is that the world s reserves of fossil fuels will eventually run out, depending on the rate of use, and therefore, if the consumption of these forms of energy are reduced, the existing reserves will last longer. Research and experimentation could lead to those reserves currently available but uneconomic to recover and use being rendered economic, thus extending further the number of years before these non-renewable sources of energy do eventually run out. 

The increased energy demand, depletion of petroleum reserves, as well as major concerns of rising greenhouse gas emissions make the implementation of alternative and renewable sources of energy a cracial issue worldwide.

In view of the finiteness of fossil energy products, accompanied by growing environmental problems, it is necessary to establish new, sustainable and future-oriented concepts for energy generation. The goal of sustainable development inevitably involves the exploitation of renewable sources of energy. Therefore, the European Union (EU) aims to double the proportion of renewable energy from 6% to 12% by 2010. Currently, around 4% (69 MtOE = 69 x 1061 of oil equivalents) of the EU s total... 

High-temperature nuclear-fusion reactors may some day be practical as renewable sources of energy for hydrogen production, but they are most likely many years away. Typically, over 100 million degrees F temperatures are required for nuclear fusion to occur and this technology, while under development, is not expected to be commercially viable in the near future. 

The increase in energy prices and the need to secure future energy needs by increasing diversity of the energy supply mix have fostered the necessity of introducing renewable raw materials (RRM) and sources of energy (RSE). 

All these circumstances have lead the industry to begin searching for a new source of energy an alternative and completely petroleum-independent power source. Several technologies are being researched, such as biomass (bio-diesel, ethanol), renewable ocean sources (wave, tidal, and thermal), hydrogen, and many more.
