In the group of words above, there is one independent clause and there isn't any subordinate clauses. Independent clauses are a group of words that can stand alone as a sentence: They have a subject and a verb and represent a complete thought.
In the sentence in question, the NP "energy" functions as the subject of the sentence and the VP "can be gathered" functions as the predicate.
