Solar Energy Using sunlight for generating energy Energy Storage Sustainable methods of storing energy over time Wind Energy Responsibly harvesting power from wind Geothermal Energy Using the heat from the Earth for energy Scientific Research Ethical and holistic approaches to broadening human knowledge and understanding of the cosmos Tempature Regulation Efficiently heating, cooling, and maintaining optimal temperature

For millennia societies have relied on animals and sometimes other humans, to provide energy for transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing — and burned wood for heat-energy.

In the last 150 years humans have used exponentially increasing amounts of energy, mostly from fossil-fuels, creating severe pollution of many kinds.

Reducing energy consumption and waste, and transitioning to ethical and sustainable energy sources is vitally necessary.

Renewable energy from the sun and earth's systems is plentiful, and technology for collecting it is increasingly available and affordable. Reducing energy use and waste is also essential.

Main uses of energy by humans include:
