As to who discovered it, many theories abound. Some give credit to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity, but his experiments only helped create the connection between lightning and electricity.

Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, consumes no water, and uses little land. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/319312465 Hydroelectric energy anshu_cherukumilli https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/319313037 Hydroelectricity is electricity produced from hydropower. In 2015, hydropower generated 16.6% of the world's total electricity and 70% of all renewable electricity, and was expected to increase about 3.1% each year for the next 25 years.]]> 2019-01-10 16:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/319313037 How was it used prisha_khona https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/319313190 In this article, it talks about what renewable energy is and how people use it.]]> 2019-01-10 16:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/319313190 The Engineering Challenges of Renewable Energy anshu_cherukumilli https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/324358243 This video explains what renewable energy is, as well as the benefits of it.

Renewable en julia_dismukes https://padlet.com/emily_lu/pcron2tmmsq7/wish/324369021 Renewable energy technologies are clean sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. Also, most renewable energy investments are spent on materials and workmanship to build and maintain the facilities, rather than on costly energy imports. Renewable energy investments are usually spent within the United States, frequently in the same state, and often in the same town. This means your energy dollars stay home to create jobs and fuel local economies, rather than going overseas.
