SUSTAINABLE ENERGY<br />
WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE/SUSTAINABLE ENERGY<br />
Alternative/Sustainable Energy<br />
is the process of converting<br />
radiation from the sun, wind<br />
currents and other alternative<br />
sources into electricity. Since<br />
the invention of the first silicon<br />
solar cell, through the energy<br />
crisis of the 1970s and into the<br />
new millennium, there has been<br />
a steady increase in the interest<br />
and push toward Alternative/<br />
Sustainable Energy.<br />
America’s ever-expanding<br />
business, industrial and<br />
residential energy needs,<br />
along with growing demand<br />
for alternatives to coal and oil,<br />

are needed in every area of<br />
Alternative/Sustainable Energy.<br />
