Fuel Extraction and Production – Water is a critical resource for the drilling and mining of natural gas, coal, oil, and uranium]]> 2017-10-26 16:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200907683 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200907776 Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanicalpower into electricity to power homes, businesses, schools, and the like.]]> 2017-10-26 16:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200907776 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200907899 energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.]]> 2017-10-26 16:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200907899 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908344 the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.]]> 2017-10-26 16:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908344 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908569 Nuclear power plants split uranium atoms inside a reactor in a process called fission. At a nuclear energy facility, the heat from fission is used to produce steam, which spins a turbine to generate electricity.]]> 2017-10-26 16:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908569 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908877 Light energy is the only form of energy that we can actually see directly. It is formed through chemical, radiation, and mechanical means. Light energy can also be converted into other forms of energy. Interesting Light Energy Facts: Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 km/s.]]> 2017-10-26 16:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200908877 304807 https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200909053 Chemical energy, Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic]]> 2017-10-26 16:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/304807/d35r4md6j7dm/wish/200909053
