among the companies currently.
In 2013, the country was the second-largest
importer of liquefied natural gas, the fourth-largest
importer of coal, and the fifth-largest importer of total

Geothermal Energy:
Just like Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy also keeps houses warm, and they create
electricity. But natural features such as hot springs, mud pools, steam vents and steaming
ground can be easily, damaged by producing Geothermal Energy.
Wind Energy:
Harnessing power from wind energy is one of the cleanest ways to make electricity
because it does not cause any pollution. Wind Energy is also a renewable energy source, so
it will last forever. Some people that live near wind turbines complain that they make a lot of
noise, but the noise doesnt cause any health issues.
Hydropower:
Hydropower is a renewable energy source because it uses the earths water cycle to
make electricity. Construction and operation
