Sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides and rain are natural resources that can help generate energy and it is called renewable energy. In 2006, 18% of energy consumed globally came from renewable energy and 13% came from traditional biomass, which includes wood-burning.

The next largest renewable energy source is Hydroelectricity which provides 3% (15% of electricity generated globally), followed by solar hot water/heating, which contributed up to 1.3%. 0.8% of the final energy consumption is provided by wind power, geothermal energy, ocean energy and solar power.Every year, wind power grows at the rate of 30 percent, with a capacity of over 100 GW installed all over the world and is widely used in the United States and in several European countries. In 2006, the photovoltaic power stations manufactured more than 2,000 MW and these photovoltaic (PV) energy stations are quite popular in Spain and Germany

Jay Hakes asked:

Every American president has wrestled with the question of how best to fuel the country’s transportation and other energy needs. Even Abraham Lincoln chose to reject an offer from the King of Siam (the same one of Broadway musical lore) to send over Asian elephants who could propagate here and create a national transportation infrastructure. Lincoln explained to the King that America planned to rely on steamboats and steam-engine railroads, both fueled by burning wood. Modern presidents have found energy issues daunting. A few may even have lost re-election because of this difficult task.

Richard Nixon confronted the first years of America’s decline in oil production, an Arab oil embargo, and angry motorists stranded in gasoline lines. While Nixon’s policies of oil price controls and allocation made the gas lines worse, he responded to the crisis by increasing the nation’s commitment to energy research, starting the Alaska Oil Pipeline, and instituting the 55-mph speed limit. Gasoline shortages and price surges, in addition to the Watergate scandal, brought down his popularity to dangerous levels.
