Introduction

The increased demand of energy throughout the world has necessitated the use of available sources of energy effectively , as well as development of other renewable energy sources . The increase in population has increased demand of goods produced , which has in turn led to the development of diverse industries which produce goods to meet the existing demand . These industries consume a lot of power which depletes the energy resources we have . It is therefore necessary to diversify the

use of energy resources , as well as reduce energy use in to ensure that the current and future generations have adequate energy resources (Armstrong and Blundell 2007 : 62-69

Currently , there are many measures which have been taken to reduce the energy being consumed , and these include the manufacture of products which conserve energy . These range from energy saving bulbs to hybrid cars , and they are designed to use less energy . However , since it is impossible to completely reduce the use of energy to zero , it is important to seek alternative sources to supplement the current ones In setting the criteria for alternative energy sources , it is important to diversify the sources as much as possible , in to prevent over-reliance on one source (Laughton et . al . 1999 : 5-12 . It is important to analyse the options available before selecting a suitable criteria
