-Energy+Production

 * Energy production is the constant effort being made to develop and produce ways to get the energy that the world needs to function. Chemists and other scientists are constantly trying to come up with new ways to produce energy for the world. Though there are many forms of energy production, the most common are petroleum, coal, natural gas, hydroelectric power, nuclear power and natural energy (geothermal, solar, wind, etc.)**
 * The percentage of these energies used between 2006 and 2007 is shown below.**



Unfortunately, many of the most commonly used forms of energy today are harmful to the environment, such as petroleum and nuclear energy. Also, fossil fuels such as coal are not 'renewable' sources of energy, meaning there is only a certain amount of coal in the world, and once that it is used up we can't get any more. These two problems are the reasons scientists today are focusing more on developing and producing natural forms of energy like solar, wind, and geothermal energy.
