According to the United States Department of Energy, about 24
percent of energy used in the United States came from Natural Gas in 2008.
Natural gas is used to produce steel, glass, paper, clothing, brick, electricity
and is an essential raw material for many common products. Slightly more than
half of the homes in the United States use natural gas as their main heating
fuel. Natural Gas is one of the cleanest, safest and most useful of all energy
sources and is a vital component of the world's energy supply.
Crude oil, also well-known as petroleum, is the term used for "unprocessed oil". Naturally derived from decaying plants and animals, crude oil is a fossil fuel. Crude oil is made up of various elements or compounds such as carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, metals and salts. Due it to its constituency, crude oil differs in color from plain to tar-black and in viscosity, from water to nearly solid. The main component of crude oil is hydrocarbon, which contains a lot of energy. Hence, crude oil is used in generating many forms of energy such as gasoline, diesel and other fuel oils. Hydrocarbons are considered to be versatile because it can be used in many different forms. By chemically treating it in different ways, many things such as synthetic rubber, nylon and plastic can be made out of hydrocarbon. Also, petroleum is used as the unprocessed material for many chemical products such as pesticides, fertilizers and pharmaceuticals. It is believed that due to its high energy density, plenty availability and trouble-free transportability, crude oil has become the world's most imperative source of energy.

Solar energy is all about harnessing the power of the sun to produce
energy. The sun rains enough solar energy on the Earth in one day to power the entire energy
needs of the world for one year. Solar energy is considered a renewable energy source because
it will exist for as long as our sun does, estimated to be another 4.5 billion years.
Solar energy is also considered a clean energy because it does not produce pollutants or
byproducts harmful to the environment.
To help meet America's increasing energy needs while protecting our Nation's
energy security and environment, the U.S. Department of Energy's Wind and Water Power Program is
working with wind industry partners to develop clean, domestic, innovative wind energy technologies
that can compete with conventional fuel sources. Program efforts have culminated in some of industry's
leading products today and have contributed to record-breaking industry growth.
