Energy Resources
Our world functions on energy, which is generated through transferring energy contained in some form of natural resource into work performed by the machines that we use in life. Here you will find some resources regarding different forms of energy along with their practicality and efficiency.
Sources of Power Production
We use energy, be it kinetic, thermal, or electrical, in every aspect of our lives. Except for the actual movement of our bodies (which is fuelled with food), this energy generally comes from some external source that we have no direct contact with. Here is a list of the various places we get energy in our modern world of industry & technology.

Environmental Protection Agency: Energy
The Environmental Protection Agency maintains sites on a number of topics, including energy. Here is the portal to their energy links, from forms of energy to how to reduce energy waste.

Hybrid Technologies, Inc.
This Las Vegas-based company is producing a number of fuel efficient vehicles, from motorcycles to proposed compact cars. Their technology is based on lithium-ion batteries, which can be learned about on their site. This is for information purposes, and should not be considered an endorsement of their products, which I have never tried.

General Motors: Live Green, Go Yellow
General Motors has an initiative to promote cars using bio-fuel, which is energy generated from easily renewable organic sources, such as corn, rather than non-renewable resources, such as oil. Their website provides some information on this alternative fuel source. This should not be considered an endorsement of General Motors; the link is provided for information purposes only.

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)
A major international project to create a functional nuclear fusion reactor that will produce more energy than it consumes. Such a project, if successful, could provide a source of cheap, safe energy.
