- - - - Prominent research done in China & Japan
      - Overcomes problem of storage
  - - - Not suitable for countries that have limited land or money
    - - Turbines
  - - - Through thermal, chemical processes
      - Wood is the biggest source
  - - - Areas near tectonic plate boundaries
    - - Followed by drilling & transferred through heat-transfer fluid
- - - - Co2
        
        Carbon footprint
      - Emission standards
      - Air Pollution
        
        Decreased visibility in air can cause planes to be delayed.
        
        Health concerns
    - - Rapid depletion of resources due to unlimited wants.
        
        Unsustainable use of/demand for energy
    - - Nuclear meltdown
      - Oil Spills
- - - - Alternative sources of energy
    - - Bulk leasing of solar panels
  - - - Given to businesses that adopt green technologies
  - - - Collaborate on clean energy solutions
  - - - Efforts to mitigate carbon emissions
- - - - Able to afford higher electrical bills which supports their wasteful behaviors
      - Usage of heaters, air-conditioning
      - Have to meet demands in developing countries
    - - Turning lights on even in broad daylight where natural lighting is available
      - Keeping electrical appliances on standby mode when not in used
      - Choosing not to take public transport even when it is available
    - - Forgetting to switch off fans, air-conditioning, lights etc
      - Internet of things uses smart technology with sensors embedded in devices that switch off appliances when not in use
    - - Favoring profit over environmental impact or sustainable practices
      - Producing beyond emission standards
  - - - For example: Using incandescent bulbs which wastes alot of energy due to the amount of heat it produces
