Fact 2- Saves 79$ a WEEK 
Fact 3-  1 Year- $2000

Definition:
Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis]]> 2019-09-25 17:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/389619732 Nuclear Energy Dantdmdarealguy https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/390174419 1-Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus (core) of an atom. Atoms are tiny particles that make up every object in the universe.
2-There is enormous energy in the bonds that hold atoms together.
3-Nuclear energy can be used to make electricity.

Definition:
Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions.

2- Coal formed millions of years ago when the earth was covered with huge swampy forests where plants - giant ferns, reeds and mosses - grew. ... Heat and pressure produced chemical and physical changes in the plant layers which forced out oxygen and left rich carbon deposits.
3- Coal is a nonrenewable resource known as a fossil fuel. It's the most abundant fossil fuel we have. The four types of coal include peat, lignite, bituminous, and anthracite, with anthracite being most desirable due to its high heat content.

Definition: Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen]]> 2019-09-26 17:09:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/390180284 Biomass Dantdmdarealguy https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/390181063 1-  The total mass of organisms in a given area or volume.
2- Organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity.
3- We use four types of biomass today—wood and agricultural products,solid waste, landfill gas and biogas, and alcohol fuels (like Ethanol or Biodiesel).

Definition: Biomass is plant or animal material used for energy production, or in various industrial processes as raw material for a range of products. It can be purposely grown energy crops, wood or forest residues, waste from food crops, horticulture, food processing, animal farming, or human waste from sewage plants.]]> 2019-09-26 17:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/390181063 GeoThermal Dantdmdarealguy https://padlet.com/Dantdmdarealguy/ayb537z2udg4/wish/390183373 1- Geothermal systems utilize the stable temperature built up in the earth by storing it in a loop of pipes buried underground. Water circulates in the loop providing geothermal heating, cooling, and hot water at remarkably high efficiencies when YOU need it throughout the year
2- Disadvantages of Geothermal Energy
  • 1 Environmental Issues. There is an abundance of greenhouse gases below the surface of the earth, some of which mitigates towards the surface and into the atmosphere. ...
  • 2 Surface Instability (Earthquakes) ...
  • 3 Expensive. ...
  • 4 Location Specific. ...
  • 5 Sustainability Issues.
3- Geothermal heat pumps can operate in any climate—hot or cold—because of the earth's constant underground temperature (from 45° to 75° F depending on location). In fact, millions of GHP systems are already heating and cooling homes and businesses worldwide, and that includes all 50 U.S. states.
