Regardless of whether you drive an electric car or not, the overall impact of the increase in each nation’s energy usage is huge. It is this energy that helps to need the modern economy, powering the factories which manufacture goods, the homes of the workers manufacturing the goods and those whose jobs it is to engineer and bring home purchases home from the shops. For many, the very availability of cheap and reliable energy is one of the principal pillars of the advance of modern society, but as energy consumption grows and the need for gas-guzzling cars and air-conditioned homes increases in direct proportion, will our planet’s natural sources be able to keep up with this voracious appetite?

How can we fix this problem?

There are many ways to approach this problem, but one innovative way is to tap into energy from other sources, or to avoid using energy in the first place. Here at Techly, we have previously covered a number of companies pushing the envelope in this area but with the help of Google News we have decided to take a look at the latest developments coming in this field. The resulting list contains a large amount of companies focused on solar and wind power, but there are also a number of startups taking on the challenge of improving energy efficiency, both in individual homes and in power plants.
