Wind energy itself is a completely renewable source. In fact, it actually relies on solar power as its own source; "The sun's energy in interaction with the Earth's surfaces creates the winds and as long as the sun is up there, wind is a renewable energy source," (Sustainable Table 2010). Modern implication and practice have proven that generating power through wind energy can be a reliable and clean source of providing practical uses of power. Residential and commercials cities have been provided with much power coming from the windy plains of America's greatest desserts. It is a growing strategy for alternative energy solutions, and "Today, wind energy is captured by wind turbines and used to generate electricity," (West 2010). More and more facilities of seemingly endless white wind turbines are being built across the country. Such facilities will provide great sources for energy within the future development of the nation.
Hydrogen and biofuels have proved popular solutions to the dependence on natural gas within the automotive industry. Hybridized cars have recently flooded the market and have begun implementing mixed strategies of hydrogen and natural gas power sources to individual cars around the world. Hydrogen is naturally found bound to other elements, but its production depends on its separation. According to research, the promise is quite simple, and that "Once separated from other elements, hydrogen can be used to power vehicles, replace natural gas for heating and cooking, and to generate electricity," (West 2010). This can then be used in such strategies as being implemented by the automotive industry. However, hydrogen production on the mass scale that...
According to research, "Hydrogen has tremendous potential as a fuel and energy source, but the
technology needed to realize the potential is still in its early stages," (West 2010). Additionally, biofuels like Ethanol have been used in wider production as a cleaner source of natural gas used to provide power and energy for America's great dependence on the movement of the
automobile. However, it remains low in its production, and many have the cost to be more than efficient.
Alternative fuels can provide the answer to several modern problems. The issue of energy dependence and its infliction on the environmental and political world has been a major source of
debate, but also of progressive policy. Modern governments have begun implementing new standards to keep their industries clean in an effort to help reduce our
carbon footprint on this Earth. With this growth of popularity and funding, alternative sources will soon implement innovative ideas on a much grander scale. Tomorrow's world is the world of alternative sources for our energy needs.
