particularly eco-conscious‚ but they have now made their way into the mainstream. Most major motoring brands offer Hybrids with models like the Toyota Prius‚ the Honda CR-Z and the Lexus CT proving popular. They work by combining a fuel engine with electric batteries‚ which reclaims energy when the car brakes or converts energy from the petrol in the fuel engine. However‚ more manufacturers are developing ’plug in’ Hybrids‚ which offer the option to recharge more powerful batteries through a common

Hydroelectric power: The World’s Established Renewable Energy Resource For over a century‚ hydroelectric power has been used to generate electricity from falling water. The capacity to produce this energy is dependent on both the available flow and the height from which it falls. Hydroelectric dams create height for the water to fall and provide storage. In general‚ the higher the dam‚ the more potential energy is available. Building up behind a high dam‚ water accumulates potential energy. The
