quotes[0]='Every minute enough of the sun\'s energy reaches Earth\'s surface to meet the world\'s energy demands for a whole year.'

quotes[1]='Worldwide, some 2 billion people are currently without electricity. <br /><em>U.S. Department of Energy</em>'

quotes[2]='Before 1950, the United States was one of the largest producers of oil in the world. Today, about 150 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources remain in the US. <br /><em>US Geological Survey</em>'

quotes[3]='Based on current trends, the world\'s coal supplies will be exhausted by 2500 and the world\'s oil supply by 2050. <br /><em>State University of New York</em>'

quotes[4]='Prior to the Industrial Revolution (late 1700s to early 1800s), at least 70% of all work was done by human muscle power.  Most of the rest was done by domesticated animals.'

quotes[5]='Fossil fuel sources were created by natural processes over hundreds of millions of years in a highly concentrated and easily transportable form.'

quotes[6]='Fossil fuel resources are projected by many scientists and agencies to be commercially depleted by as early as 2050 or even sooner, about 300 years after the start of their commercial use with the onset of the Industrial Revolution.'

quotes[7]='If incandescent light bulbs were phased out globally by 2012, the electricity savings would be equivalent to the output of 80 nuclear plants. <br /><em>IEA 2007</em>'

quotes[8]='Wind has been the fastest growing renewable electricity source worldwide, with an average annual growth rate of 24% over the period 1990-2005.  Today, wind supplies about 1 percent of the world\'s electrical consumption.'

quotes[9]='It is estimated that between 1.4 trillion and 2.1 trillion barrels of oil remain to be produced worldwide. <br /><em>US Geological Survey</em>'

quotes[11]='A hybrid vehicle is any vehicle that uses two or more sources for power.<br /><br />'

quotes[12]='No single solution can meet our society\'s future energy needs. The solution instead will come from a family of diverse energy technologies that share a common thread - they do not deplete our natural resources or destroy our environment. <br /><em>Union of Concerned Scientists</em>'

quotes[13]='As a base load source of energy, geothermal is distinct from other renewables such as wind and solar, since it can provide electricity 24 hours a day 365 days a year.'

quotes[15]='Hydropower capacity has remained constant between 2000-2007, with generation fluctuation depending on water supply.'

quotes[16]='Hydropower remains the largest source of renewable energy generation; primarily large-scale hydropower accounts for 7% of U.S. electricity generation.'
