Abstract	Regardless of a person's convictions and belief system, science has provided a body of knowledge that points to human interaction with nature as being the leading cause of pollution and a variable to the cause of global warming. Technology teachers are part of the global solution for educating a greater public about energy inputs, processes, and outputs as indicated in "Standards for Technological Literacy: Content for the Study of Technology (STL)" (ITEA, 2000/2002/2007): Standard 5--the effects of technology on the environment, Standard 15--agricultural and related biotechnologies, Standard 16--energy and power technologies, and Standard 18--transportation technologies. Therefore, technology teachers need reliable and basic information about renewable energy technologies to incorporate into their classroom instruction in order to better fulfill "STL." There are many alternative energy and transportation technologies being implemented that will make a positive difference on the environment. Many other technologies that hold great promise are currently in a research and development phase. This article presents several topics about clean energy and transportation technologies that are currently being implemented in various places around the world. (ERIC).
