Solar energy

Define

Solar energy is said to be the cleanest and most reliable form of renewable
energy.

There are solar panels that you would put in the ground where most of the sun is
and leave it there so it takes the heat waves of the sun and it will be used for
anything that involves energy.

Yes the US is smart on this choice because they are able to help many people
that don't have energy and give them some all though not everyone uses it only
some special people can.

Solar energy is so good it can reduce your electric bill, help the environment since
you won't be using any fossil fuels and it can minimize future utility rate increase.

I heard one big drawback that isn't good is that when planes fly they won’t be able
to see down because the light is shining too much. Basic drawbacks would be the
amount of space that will be used to build them.

Wind energy

Define

When the air flows on windy days the wind will go to the turbines and the wind
turbines will go to this generator which will make electric power.

The way this alternative energy is presently used is the conversion of Kinetic
energy into wind the into mechanical power and this power will be used to grinding
grain or pumping water.

The us is using this form of energy as well Washington DC American wind power
is topped 4 percent then iowa and South Dakota is 25 percent.



Discuss

Similar to the other energy a benefits would be being for good to the environment
and it can reduce the bill if your able to get it in your land.

A huge drawback for using this source of energy is that amount of space that will
be used if you have a good one it'll be pretty large.

Geothermal energy

Define

Geothermal energy is heat energy that is stored in the earth.

There are machines used that you would put in the ground where the heat is and
leave it there so it takes the steam or hot water reservoirs underground and traps
it and it will be used for anything that heat energy.

Yes the US is also smart on this choice because they are able to help many
people that don't have heat but also the us uses it for themselves but mostly the
people who need it.



Discuss

benefits would be being good to the environment and it can reduce the use of
many other things things harmful for the environment

A huge drawback for using this source of energy is that amount of space that will
be used if you have a good one it'll be pretty large.

Tidal energy

Define

This power or energy is not widely used so the us is thinking about using this but it
would be better to use the other types of energy.

The tidal power or energy would be mainly used for electricity.



Discuss

The drawback would be the fishes and all other animal down in the water will lose
spaces but there is water everywhere so it's okay.

A good things would be the electricity bill would go down and it can help many
people who need like but it doesn't seem it will be widely used yet because of how
expensive it is.
