Given that there are already energy sources in use, why would you look for new ones?  It costs money to do so, so there must be a reason...

There is a reason...people try to find new energy sources to use to save energy and create less pollution.

whpalmer4 · Answer

well, they don't find them to save energy, they find them intending to use energy :-) and make money.

very true XD
Although i don't really think the solar panel uses energy...or the windmill...they create these to create energy for others to use...

People are looking for new energy sources to use because it all comes down to image and money. If a particular party or country is using or promoting "clean" energy sources, then it gives them a good image because they are "thinking about the environment". However, it is usually tied to money. If they can find something that efficiently provides lots of energy at a cheap price that promotes high demand (with a bonus of it being clean and eco-friendly) then it is perfect. Nevertheless, no one has found has found that type of energy source yet, an that is why there is still a search for one.
