Sustainable Energy
Sustainable energy refers to the provision of energy, which meets the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainable energy sources include all renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy and tidal power. It also includes technologies which improve energy efficiency.
It focuses on the ability of an energy source to continue providing energy, by providing some pollution of the environment, as long as it is not sufficient to prohibit heavy use of the source for an indefinite amount of time.
According to Business Week, the companies to look for are Achates Power (which is testing a clean-burning diesel engine), AltoRock Energy (which has bored wells as deep as four miles to tap geothermal energy), and BioFuelBox (which converts oil-laden sludge from sewage systems, industrial plants, and animal processing factories into clear, odorless diesel fuels).
