It explains the evolution of oil, how the commodity became a driver of industrialization before turning to be a catastrophe to mankind. The research also presents an overview of various renewable energy generation technologies that have been developed to promote green energy at a time when oil drilling is predicted to be nearing its peak. A brief insight of countries that have embraced the use of green energy to reduce their dependency on oil has also been outlined in the study. In addition, this research looks at Kenya' strides towards embracing green energy sources. This Thesis also looked at Kenya's Investment in Oil drilling in Turkana at a time when use of Green Energy is becoming popular.
