Solar power is an infinitely renewable energy source ...
... "Solar power is the intelligent, infinitely renewable choice for any home. Depending on the system you choose and where you live, you can reduce your utility costs up to 90% or even eliminate your electric bill entirely. In fact, when your solar production exceeds the demands of your own home, your meter actually spins backwards - the utility company credits you for the power you produce! " ...

Renewable energy is discussed throughout the Royal Dutch Shell Sustainable Development and Business Strategy. ...
... "Are high energy prices helping or hurting the prospects for a more sustainable energy future? High oil and natural gas prices are the market's signal that supplies are tight and that more energy of all kinds will be needed to meet demand. So their impact is mixed. They encourage conservation. They give renewable energy a boost. With the $1 billion we have invested over the last five years in renewable energy, we are already the world's leading distributor of biofuels and have built the broadest alternative energy portfolio of any major energy company. 
Fuel cell engines running on hydrogen could dramatically reduce air pollution and help energy security. GHG emissions can also be very low if the hydrogen is made using renewable power or CO2 storage.
Shell External Review Committee comments: It displays the company's quiet optimism that Shell can help meet the energy challenge by a simultaneous focus on: technological innovation; continued substantial investment in traditional and unconventional fossil fuel sources; and the development of at least one substantial renewables business by 2015.

H2 Truck uses non-polluting hydrogen fuel cell. ...
... "H2 Truck for internal transportation The H2 Truck is intended for internal transportation in industries, warehouses, hospitals, airports and other applications with a need for non-polluting tractive power. The H2 Truck is different from battery 
trucks in the way that the batteries have been replaced with a H2 Power Unit, developed by H2 Logic. Compared to batteries the H2 Power Unit doubles the operation range of the H2 Truck and the refilling time of hydrogen is only to 2-3 minutes compared to the 10-12 hours recharge time of batteries. The only emission from the fuel cell system is pure water enabling a non-polluting internal transportation system. The H2 Power Unit also features a 1000W 230V AC power output making the H2 Truck a mobile power source. " ...

Daley and Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez, Miami Mayor Manuel Diaz and Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. As buildings are responsible for emitting half of the green house gas emissions that cause global warming, cities are committing to implement an immediate 50% fossil fuel greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction standard for all new and renovated buildings (50% below the national average for each building type) and setting benchmarks and timelines to increase the reduction standard for new buildings to carbon-neutral by 2030 - meaning they will use no fossil fuel, GHG emitting energy to operate.

"General Motors (GM) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), lead sponsors for the Challenge X: Crossover to Sustainable Mobility engineering competition, congratulated students from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, who took top honors today at this second annual competition in a three-year series. The Virginia Tech team, located in Blacksburg, Virginia, was among 17 universities 
from across North America that developed an advanced propulsion technology solution with the goal of improving on-road fuel economy and reducing emissions. The team reengineered a 2005 Chevrolet Equinox as a split parallel hybrid that uses two electric motors and runs on E85 – an ethanol/gas blend that reduces the vehicle's well-to-wheels petroleum use by 74 percent. The second place vehicle, designed by students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is a through-the-road parallel biodiesel electric hybrid with a diesel 1.9-L turbo charged engine. Mississippi State University was awarded third place overall with a splitparallel, through-the-road hybrid electric vehicle that runs on B20 biodiesel. " ...
