Human nature is to not respect what one gets free. The mother earth has given us everything we require for our sustenance. But the human race took everything for granted, and did not pay much attention to the ?Natural Resources.? In fact, abused them for personal greed. ?Global Warming? is the talk of even the common man. Time has come for us to take stock of this situation and look at means and practices to conserve and better, the energy resources. This book aims to address this of conventional and non-conventional energy resource. Contents : GROUP 1: RECENT PRACTICES IN CONVENTIONAL ENERGY RESOURCES 1.
