Wind Power
Using the wind to create electricity has been around for a long time - you've probably seen windmills on farms. When the wind turns the blades of a windmill, it spins a turbine inside a small generator to produce electricity, just like a big coal power plant.

Wind Farms
wind farm is a collection of wind turbines in the same location. This may also be called a “wind power plant,” because many wind turbines working together can produce a lot of electricity—just like coal or nuclear power plants

Solar Energy
The sun has produced energy for billions of years. Solar energy is the sun’s rays (solar radiation) that reach the earth

Biomass Renewable Energy
Biomass is organic material made from plants and animals. Biomass contains stored energy from the sun

Fossil fuel
Fossil fuels, also known as mineral fuels, are hydrocarbon-containing natural resources such as coal, petroleum and natural gas

Hydro Power
It might sound odd that we can use water to make electricity - they're a dangerous combination, right? Actually, the water never comes in contact with the electricity.

Hydropower -- Energy from Moving Wa
Of the renewable energy sources that generate electricity, hydropower is the most often used. It accounted for 7 percent of total U.S. electricity generation and 73 percent of generation from renewables in 2005

Renewable Energy
A source of energy would be considered renewable if it is a natural resource on earth and it can be naturally replenished on a relatively short time scale

Geothermal Energy
Have you ever seen pictures of a volcano or a geyser? If so, then you’ve seen geothermal energy in action!
