To that end, the federal agencies are analyzing the potential at 12 places around the country for wind, solar and small hydro development.
Environmental groups like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth would like to see a switch to renewable and clean sources of energy such as solar, wind and hydro-electric power.
BBC: Impact of global warming may be severe and wide-ranging
John says he wants to be environmentally friendly and is generating his own renewable energy from solar, wind and hydro schemes on his farm but there also has to be an economic consideration.

Energy has driven the world for over a thousand years Wind, Hydro and Solar are the oldest forms of energy giving power to all smart enough to use it.
In addition to the hydro and solar plants, the government has also invited bids for four coal plants of 50mw each (Babar's company has bid for one of these) and one of 200mw where the government sells the coal to the companies and buys the electricity.
Other energy sources, such as hydro power solar, and wind power are extremely safe.
Cornwall can already produce more than 80 megawatts (MW) of electricity from wind, hydro-electric, solar and other renewable energy sources.
