Energy is the vital force powering business, manufacturing, and the transportation of goods and services to serve the American and world economies. Energy supply and demand plays an increasingly vital role in our national security and the economic output of our nation. It is not surprising that the United States spends over 500 billion dollars annually on energy. Increasing energy supplies. As America's need for energy grows, the Department of Energy (DOE) is meeting the challenge by establishing clean fuel initiatives to make the most of traditional fossil fuels while investing in cutting edge research to develop sustainable sources such as fusion and to employ hydrogen (an energy carrier like electricity) which can be produced from diverse, domestic sources and greatly reduce our dependence on imported oil.
On September 30Th, 2005, DOE has announced that the federal government has exceeded its goal for obtaining 2.5% of the electricity needed from the renewable energy sources. (This includes such elements as wind, solar, and biomass.) But now, the governments are using 2375 megawatt hours (G.W.H.) of renewable energy. This is more than 10times more that what they use to use. Why? Because now, most federal governments are using energy from biomass, geothermal, solar and wind to perform projects. They use solar panels, on sight wind projects, and thousands of geothermal ground sources of heat pumps that have been installed. They use this equipment to prevent themselves from using up too much energy. These projects help replace those nonrenewable energy sources so that in the future there would be equal amount of renewable and nonrenewable resources left.
