The Free Exercise Clause main purpose is to protect the right to any citizen to practice their religious beliefs, so it is the duty of the government to protect the freedom of religion.

The Establishment Clause main purpose is to limit the government from making laws that establish any official religion of the US or laws that are based on religious beliefs.

This means that all American citizens have the right to practice the religion they want, the government has the duty to protect this freedom but at the same time, the government has the duty to remain neutral in matters of religion.

The free exercise clause protects the religious beliefs, and to a certain extent, the religious practices of all citizens.

establishment clause prohibits the government from endorsing, supporting, or becoming too involved in religion and religious activities

Oil-based economy refers to the world's dependency on petroleum, natural gas and coal for energy. Electricity, diesel fuel, gasoline and kerosene are only some of the commodities that are provided by oil. However, there are negative effects of the processing to the environment. Combustion of oil by cars yield sulfur oxides, nitric oxides and carbon dioxide that participate in ozone depletion and global warming. Therefore, the more-developed nations are working on better technologies to harness renewable energy for sustainability. These energy refer to solar, hydropower, wind, and tidal resources. As of now, there are problems on the cost of developing and perfecting these technologies to maximize the energy source. Unfortunately, if the world shifts to the clean energy-economy, the less developed countries would have to catch up a great deal. These equipment are quite expensive, so for a time-being, only the more developed countries would participate and earn from it.
