	Innovating Energy Solutions NASA research in energy production and advanced propulsion is necessary for the manned exploration of other worlds. This technology can also contribute to America having true energy independence from foreign fossil fuels with minimal environmental impact as we switch to an increasingly "all electric" infrastructure, even in our homes and cars. NASA’s contributions to energy include the following:
	NASA research has led to advances in solar power, fuel cell, and energy storage technologies. Radiant barrier materials that can improve the energy efficiency of your home are derived from NASA research. Space-based solar power, lunar helium-3 for fusion reactors, and passively-safe nuclear reactors all show promise for powering America's cities, as well as spacecraft.
