1. Introduction Renewable energy refers to the energy that comes from natural resources, such as sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, rain and as well as tides, which are renewable – able to replenish themselves naturally and continuously over a short period of time. This energy do not diminish and is always restored. Most of the electricity in Brunei is produced by gas-fired power stations in which the resources come from the use of fossil fuels. When fossil fuels are used, they release carbon dioxide

Why is renewable energy important? Today, the United States relies heavily on fossil fuels and nuclear power to generate its electricity. The result is a system that lacks diversity and security, threatens the health of our citizens, jeopardizes the stability of Earth's climate, and robs future generations of clean air, clean water, and energy independence. Fortunately, renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, bioenergy, and geothermal are capable of meeting a significant proportion of America's

years. The main strategies followed by Amaranth were using Arbitrage Opportunities, Energy Trading. Most of the Profits of Amaranth was mainly due to its trading in Energy Sector (Primarily Natural Gas). This made DAAS Capital to invest $80 million in Amaranth Advisors at the end of 2005. In August 2006, Amaranth’s assets had grown to $9.2 billion, including $2.17 billion in year to-date profits especially from its energy and commodities portfolio. This in turn, made DAAS’s Initial Investment of $80 million

The Sun is a reliable, non-polluting and inexhaustible source of energy. Since the beginning of life on earth, the energy that was received by all living forms was radiated from the sun. It is the time now when the mankind is on a standpoint to again depend and rely upon the sun as the main source of energy. With rapid rise in energy prices, concern over pollution, depletion of resources and environment degradation the awareness for limited resources around the world has increased dramatically.

the uncertainty over future global sources of energy supply With the worlds primary energy needs set to grow by 55% by 2030, and electricity consumption expected to double over the next few decades, managing future need is a global challenge, perhaps one of the most significant of our time. The international energy authority or the IEA estimates that $22 trillion of new investment will be needed by 2030. At the same time, there is the global challenge of climate change and the need to develop

Energy to Change Non renewable energy sources, are exactly that, NON RENEWABLE, then why do we depend on them so much? The U.S is the number one consumer of non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels. The U.S consumes so many of these resources that we must import them from other countries. With the hour glass slowly empting down, many solutions have been theorized. And many of these theories are now in use. Solar power, wind energy and hydropower are some of the more popular and more
