Since our ancestors began to use the fire as an energy source, the living standarts of mankind on the earth had been improved compared to other living creatures who only benefit from the food energy. From this time on, man always sought after new energy sources, found and used them for upgrading his living standarts. This led to ever increasing rate of energy usage by mankind. As in the past and also today, the communities of man that use more energy, are more powerful and live more comfortable. Therefore, today's man never thinks to give up his increasing rate of energy usage.However, the environmental effects caused by the usage of great quantities of non-renewable and polluting energy sources led man to start thinking and producing new solutions on these issues, especially after the third quarter of twentieth century. Turning to clean and renewable energy sources, studies on more efficient usage of energy and energy conservation have become the main issues intensively studied for finding solutions regarding the energy usage problems. These studies are gaining more and more acceptability and support from the mankind. Clean Energy Foundation is an organization established by individuals and organizations who recognized the importance of supporting the studies on these issues.
Foundation was founded in 1994.
