Energy

There are many potential alternatives to oil, some of which have already been implemented on a large scale. Some of the benefits of these alternatives include reduced emissions, decreased reliance on foreign oil, and reduced environmental impact. Without further ado, here are the most promising fuels and alternative energy sources of the future.

The green revolution is influencing sustainable changes in different industries. One of the most challenging transitions is occurring in the energy sector. Power companies are working to meet consumers’ demands by developing low-emission energy sources. Some power companies are transitioning from high-emission energy sources using renewable natural gas. However, environmentalists are skeptical of the power supply's sustainability.

Businesses often offer homeowners home energy audits which they claim will increase a home's efficiency and cut down on homeowners' monthly energy costs. But, are they audits actually worth it? The answer may surprise you.
