<image:caption>Countries are taking steps towards developing renewable sources of energy, including wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal and hydropower, following more than 200-years-long use of fossil fuels as the primary source of energy, heating and cooling. Photo shows solar panels at the site of solar energy projects developer Saurya Urja Company of Rajasthan Limited, at the Bhadla Solar Park, in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan.

<image:caption>HOW A HEAT PUMP WORKS: In "Heating Mode", it extracts heat energy from outdoor air, ground, or water sources (even in freezing temperatures) and transfers it indoors. In "Cooling Mode", it reverses direction, operating exactly like an air conditioner by pulling heat out of your home and venting it outside.</image:caption>
