John,
Applications > Utilities and bring up the Activity Monitor and change the drop down to All Processes.
In there you'll see what process is using the most CPU -- that is likely what is running your fans (CPU heating up) and consequently draining your battery.
Once you know what's eating your CPU, then, you can perhaps let us know, or Google the process name and find out if it's a regular problem. In my case, upgrading to 10.7 caused issues with a Citrix Access Gateway service that was running at 99% CPU -- it was a common problem and there was a workaround.
Activity Monitor is a GUI frontend to the UNIX top command.
