Green energy is energy from renewable resources. Examples of renewable sources include solar and wind power. Together with energy efficiency improvements green energy may meet our future energy needs.
Can we live in ways that ensure that all our energy requirements are met through renewable resources, which are sustainable both ecologically and economically?
Clean, Renewable Energy Sources:
- Solar Energy
- Wind Energy
- Tidal Energy
- Annapolis Tidal Generating Station in Nova Scotia, Canada
Controversial Energy Sources:
- Nuclear Energy

- A report of, perhaps, unforseen environmental impact of nuclear energy can be read on this blog.
- The Institute for Environmental Research and Education has just completed a study about the feasibility of turning the whole Vashon and Maury Island community in the Pacific Northwestern US into an Energy Independent Community within ten years. This includes green hydrogen generation for fuel cell cars. Apparently 75% of the local residents were in favour of this plan, and would be willing to pay more for their electricity to do so. Results of their study can be downloaded in a .pdf document here.
