Renewable Sources of Energy

Wind energy

widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions durning operation

use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power

Solar energy

active solar techniques include the use of photovoltaic system to harness the energy

radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evoling technologies

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat

Geothermal energy

originates from the original formation of the planet

heat energy generated and stored in the Earth

Hydropower

power which may be harnessed for useful puropses

power derived from the energy of falling water or fast running water
