Do you know anyone who doesn't use any energy? Chances are that you don't. The simple fact is that everyone uses energy in one form or another, whether it be for lights, cooking, heating or transportation. With the worlds population exploding, is it any wonder why the air is becoming so polluted?

We are becoming more and more dependent on oil to provide our energy needs. With resources running low, we need to look beyond fossil fuels to meet our energy use. Who's tired of paying up to $100 every time you go to fill up your car, or looking at the gas bill each month? There is a better way, a way to save money and save the environment.

5 Facts about Renewable Energy

1. There are five main forms of renewable energy: solar, wind, water, biofuel and geothermal (heat from the earth).

2. If it could be properly harnessed, enough sunlight falls on the earth in just one hour to meet world energy demands for a whole year!

3. Ever the innovator, Albert Einstein (left) won the Nobel Prize in Physics 1921 for his ground-breaking experiments with solar power and photovoltaics.

4. The geothermal energy from the core of the Earth is closer to the surface in some areas than in others. Where hot underground steam or water can be tapped and brought to the surface it can be used to generate electricity.

5. Water is the most commonly used renewable energy resource, providing enough power to meet the needs of 28.3 million people.

It's important to realize that we cannot live forever on fossil fuels. We need to branch out and explore other options. We need to start this now, before it becomes too expensive for us to live, and we can do this one person at time.
