methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to grow exponentially‚ which poses a huge challenge to these diminishing resources. Burning fossil fuels deters environmental longevity and growth because it accelerates the rate of negative climate change
