· Economic slowdowns due to insufficient and inconsistent energy supply

· Increased pollution (deteriorating ozone layer) from utilization of current energy sources

· Increase reliance and demand for expensive energy resources such as oil

· Increase in prices for oil and other energy resources

· Depletion of current oil and gas supply

· Further damage to the environment in the exploration of prospective oil drilling sites

· Non-renewable energy being utilized

· Electricity consumption is increasing every year (computer & advanced technology users - Silicon Valley)
