Technologies in use include dry steam power stations, flash steam power stations and binary cycle power stations. Geothermal electricity generation is currently used in 24 countries.]]> 2018-03-07 14:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239168300 sms5714 https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239170523 A fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes.

The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.

systems generate solar power by using mirrors or lenses to concentrate a large area of sunlight, or solar thermal energy, onto a small area. Electricity is generated when the concentrated light is converted to heat.]]> 2018-03-07 14:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239176665 sms5714 https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239179956 Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechaniclly power generators for electric power.


Wind power, as an alternative to burning fossil fuels, is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no green house gas, emissions during operation, consumes no water, and uses little land.]]> 2018-03-07 15:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239179956 sms5714 https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239181249  A biofuel is a fuel that is produced through contemporary biological processes.

Biofuels can be derived directly from plants, or indirectly from agricultural, commercial, domestic, and/or industrial wastes.

Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation , air and water heating/cooling, transportation , and ruble (off - grid ) energy services.

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.]]> 2018-03-07 15:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239187345 sms5714 https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239189643  A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate.

An example is carbon-based, organically-derived fuel. The original organic material, with the aid of heat and pressure, becomes a fuel such as oil or gas.]]> 2018-03-07 15:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239189643 sms5714 https://padlet.com/sms5714/wglf1g10gwfr/wish/239192073 Alternative energy is any energy source that is an alternative to fossil fuel.

These alternatives are intended to address concerns about such fossil fuels, such as its high carbon dioxides emissions , an important factor in global warming.
