Moreover, a host of new technologies will be required, including more-powerful solar panels, electric-ion engines, extraterrestrial mining equipment and robotic refineries.
It rates U.S. hotels from bronze to platinum based on their environmental practices: linen and towel reuse, recycling, composting, energy efficient appliances, solar panels, electric car charging stations, green roofing and more.

Besides being used for hi-tech gadgets, the elements are also crucial for manufacturing low-carbon resources such as wind turbines, solar panels and electric cars, said David Danielson, the US assistant secretary for renewable energy.
GaN switches convert power at higher frequencies than traditional components and can be easily embedded in virtually any electrical system from consumer electronics products to computer servers, HVAC equipment, industrial motor drives, and inverters for solar panels and electric vehicles.
Well, how about investment in clean energy so that the solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars are built here in the United States?
And my administration has invested heavily in clean energy manufacturing, because I want to see the LEDs and solar panels and wind turbines and electric cars of tomorrow made right here in the U.S of A. I want them made right here.
China already dominates global market share for electric batters, wind turbines, and solar panels, and is rapidly boosting its capacity to innovate and produce next-generation clean energy technologies.
FORBES: With Stimulus Nearing End, Will U.S. Keep Clean Energy Momentum Going?
We can invest in American businesses that power our country with all kinds of innovative technologies such as wind turbines, solar panels, geothermal systems, hybrid and electric cars, and next-generation batteries.
Fire crews in Devon and Somerset have been warned by bosses to be careful of solar panels at emergency scenes in case they get electric shocks.
The global solar industry saw the slowest growth in a decade when it wrapped up 2012 by selling 29 gigawatts of solar panels and other gear that make up solar electric systems, according to NPD Solarbuzz on Thursday.
Equally some electric vehicle owners have been able to recharge their cars with solar panels, which means their emissions are practically zero (although the emissions involved with actually constructing the solar panels and the cars will mean that no cars are ever totally clean).
Solar panels produce electricity in DC, which needs to transform into AC for feeding the electric grid or for using the power onsite.
FORBES: Google-backed Transphorm Raises $25M For Power Conversion Tech
China is now the largest exporter of solar panels and is fast expanding its capacity to produce wind turbines and advanced batteries for electric cars.
