Industry accounts for approximately 33% of the energy consumed in the United States. A good deal of this energy is simply wasted as heat released into the environment. For example, about 66% of the energy produced when electricity is generated from a coal-burning power plant is wasted – making it one of the most inefficient energy resources available. Such waste can cost companies and consumers billions of dollars over time, without even taking into account the environmental and health costs for which coal-burning power plants are responsible. However, companies all over the world are discovering more and more that there are better and much more efficient ways to generate electricity by turning to renewable sources of energy. General Motors is one of the latest companies to incorporate renewable energy resources into its operating facilities.
