solar power is cheaper than all fossil fuels.

Solar power plants can last up to 40 years or more.

 China is the world leader in solar energy.

California is the U.S. star in solar.

39% of new electricity production capacity installed in 2016 was solar.

Solar is the fastest energy source to deploy.

Utilities are giving people solar options.

The first windmill was first developed in china.

Wind energy was first used hundreds of  years ago to water plants.

Wind Energy is the most competitive energy source.

Today's Wind Turbines can be less noisy than a car.

Fossil Fuel Plants are more dangerous for birds than wind turbines.

Wind Energy will not damage the power grid.

The first modern turbine was built in Vermont in the 1940s.

Can stay for a 100 years of lifetime until worn out.

World-wide, about 20% of all electricity is generated by hydropower.

Hydropower provides about 10% of the electricity in the United States.

The United States is the second largest producer of hydropower in the world. Canada is number one.

Norway produces more than 99% of its electricity with hydropower. New Zealand uses hydropower for 75% of its electricity.

Hydropower production in Wisconsin is about 2.1 billion kilowatt hours (kwh) per year.

Hydropower can come "on line" quickly to meet rapid increases in electric demand and respond to emergency energy needs.

Every 18 to 24 months, a power plant must shut down to remove its spent uranium fuel, which becomes radioactive waste.

Nuclear power plants generate about 20% of U.S. electricity.

Nuclear power plants produced 790 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2019.

Nuclear power provides 52% of America's clean energy.

Nuclear energy is the most reliable energy source in America.

Nuclear helps power 28 U.S. states.

Nuclear fuel is extremely dense.

Garbage is burned for energy too.

Produces greenhouse gases.

The methane gas from cow manure can be used to create energy.

Most of the gasoline sold in the United States contains some ethanol.

Garbage is burned for energy as well.

Farmers create energy from animal manure using tanks called digesters.

It is carbon neutral.
