The fastest growing energy source in the world today isn't oil, or coal, or hydrogen, or fuel cells, or any of the whiz-bangers on the frontiers of high technology. In fact, it's the same technology that pushed boats up the Nile River as early as 5000 B.C., and pumped water in China and pulverized grain in ancient Persia around 200 B.C.
It's just wind.
Reports from varying sources in different fields ranging from high finance to environmental organizations to the U.S. Department of Energy all point to the same conclusion. Finally, at least some movers and shakers are beginning to recognize that humans have no choice but to find something other than non-renewable resources to power our cities and factories. We need to shift our emphasis to something that is inexhaustible, available in our own corner of the globe, and non-polluting.
Like wind. There's plenty of it. It's not going to go away. There's no way we can use it all up.

A recent study by the Department of Energy labeled wind the "fastest-growing energy source in the world." In the three year period from 2000 to 2003, wind power capacity increased a whopping 159 percent in Europe and 87 percent in the United States, according to Standard and Poor's Ratings Services.
Nowhere is this shift more pronounced than in Europe. Development of a huge "wind farm" off the English and Welsh coasts took a giant step forward earlier this month when 15 groups bid successfully for the right to participate in the project.
By the time it's completed, at least 1,000 giant wind turbines will be erected in three shallow seas, far enough offshore that it will be hard to see them from the beach. They are expected to produce enough electricity to power four million homes. So one out of every six houses will be powered by wind.
Britain hopes to produce 10 percent of its energy from such "green resources" by 2010

In the world, the fastest growing religion is Islam, with about 1.84% of people cousing that as there religen.
Generally when water is used as a source of energy it is either the kinetic energy of the flowing water or the potential energy of the water as it changed height that was used as the energy source. In both cases it is gravity that is the ultimate driving force that makes the water move (for kinetic energy) or is the source of the potential energy - which is recovered as the water moves from higher to lower.
The history of solar energy is as old as humankind in the last centuries.

Yes, wind energy is one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy globally. Its growth is driven by decreasing costs, government incentives, and the increasing societal focus on sustainability and climate change.

Well, the source i know is that by 2023, Islam will be the fastest growing religion..but its in 14 years...close to 10 though

Carbohydrates, specifically sugars like glucose, provide the fastest source of energy as they can be quickly broken down and converted into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for cellular energy production.
i think the fastest growing plants are Morning Glory and Sunflower ----- Bamboo is the fastest growing plant.
I'm only 11 but i think i know this. I believe it is mechanical energy. I really tried
Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are among the world's fastest-growing energy technologies in terms of adoption and capacity. These technologies harness natural resources to generate electricity in a sustainable manner, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering carbon emissions.
