Thousands of families are now powering their homes with a cleaner, renewable source of energy.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama Speaks on Expanding Our Energy Portfolio
We know that the Brazilian energy matrix is a renewable source of energy that Brazil has.

Meanwhile, whatever happens with nuclear energy, solar power remains the most dynamic, fastest-growing source of clean, renewable energy and, indeed, of any energy source.
But the UK government is heavily dependent on wind energy more than any other renewable source of power, to provide 15% of its green energy by 2020.
The importance of maintaining a steady source of these non-renewable sources of energy for Exxon Mobil cannot be over-emphasized.
FORBES: What Exxon's Move Toward Natural Gas Means For The Stock
In the past, all technologies were subsidised equally, so most investment went into onshore wind, the cheapest source of renewable energy.
Wind and solar as a source of renewable energy is a goal that most electric-generating companies, including General Electric (GE), Duke Energy (DUK), and Northwestern Energy (NEW), are hotly pursuing.

However, one thing to keep in mind about this bonanza of renewable energy information: Hydropower is still the major source of renewable electricity (83.8 percent of renewable generation and about 16 percent of total generation in 2009).
FORBES: International Energy Agency (Finally) Acknowledges Ascent of Renewable Energy Market
Hydrogen produced from renewable resources is a promising source of clean energy, but the gas is difficult to handle and transport.
So what better time for Ocean Power Technologies, a company that aims to capture hydropower as a source of clean, renewable energy, to makes its U.S. stock market debut?
Many venture capitalists and investment bankers see a carbon-trading regime and massive subsidies for renewable energy as a potential source of windfall profits.
It is also an "enabler" for renewable energy, providing a source of electricity that can step in to fill the gap when the wind is not blowing or the sun is not shining.
WSJ: Daniel Yergin on the Shale Gas Revolution: Stepping on the Gas
Wind is the fastest-growing renewable energy source for electricity generation in the U.S., and DOE estimates that 20 percent of the energy consumed in the U.S. could come from wind power by 2030.

To help us reach that goal, we are working hard to maximize our opportunities related to shale exploration and drilling, electricity generation and distribution, continued development of renewable energy and alternative fuels as well as a continued support for coal, which will remain a vital source of energy for Ohio.
Participants also recognized the process of building green economies and societies as a source of job creation in sectors such as renewable energy, energy efficiency in buildings and construction, sustainable transport, and organic farming.
China is already investing billions of dollars to substitute hydropower (which counts as a renewable energy source) for coal and gas in electricity generation.
Tidal turbines can be installed closer to shore than wave energy equipment, and thanks to the regularity of the tides, tidal power offers a more stable renewable energy source than, say, intermittent wind or solar.
