Sustainable energy - the biggest and best projects around the world
Rarely do we get to see a review of some of the world's most impressive sustainable energy projects.
From Geothermal to photovoltaic, solar, wind and wave, offshore and deep sea wind turbines, there are some really interesting constructions already in existence and others on the way.
Take a look at the giant propellors on the World Trade Center in Bahrain. Here's an example of architects who've integrated workable solutions in their designs.
There are other images of all the projects on the Forbes.com website.
