Solar Energy continued

We use solar panels and solar towers to collect solar power.

Hydroelectric Energy continued

Although there are benefits there are also drawbacks. When hydroelectric power plants are produced you have to build dams , and when dams are built they cause flooding to farmland which ruins animal habitats and the farmland.

Geothermal Energy

Geothermal energy is energy from inside the earth itself. More recently people have started using geothermal energy to heat their homes.

Geothermal Energy continued

Geothermal energy is used in hot tubs and spas. Geothermal energy has a chance to decrease global warming.

Wind Energy.

Wind energy is energy made from the wind. The wind is a wonderful resource but it is undependable. If the wind isn’t blowing hard enough the windmills and other things will not spin hard enough therefore it will not be able to produce enough electricity.

Wind Energy continued

One major wind source is windmills. Windmills spin fast in the wind producing electricity.

Going Green

We are polluting our mother nature. We are also ruining plants and animals natural habitat. Go green by using these many Alternative resources and many more things , and save plants, animals, and of course mother earth!
