With more and more of us using energy every day, there are fewer and fewer resources to go around. That’s why conservation and renewable energy are so important: we need to make the energy sources we have last, and we need to get more energy from sources that never run out.

How can we do that?

Scientists and engineers are already working on it! Learn how power plants can be cleaner and more efficient. Watch a wind farm being built, and find out how it works. See what a solar power plant looks like. Discover new ways architects and builders help save energy when they “think green.” And imagine what you can do to help make a better energy future for everybody!
