Biomass energy
Generally speaking, the primary sources of plant crops, animal
crops and solid waste can be used as alternative fuels in the form
of liquids or synthetic gases.
Ocean Tidal
Its the energy produced by the ocean's flow of water in sequence.
Wind turbines can be used to generate electricity.
Wave power
The up and down movement of ocean waves can also be used as a
source of energy through turbine technology designed to harvest
this movement.
Geothermal energy
Its energy produced from the inner heat of the earth. Geothermal
power plants can be used to generate electricity, or geothermal
heat pumps may be used for heating and cooling buildings.
Nuclear power
Nuclear energy is energy that is released from the nucleus, or core,
of the atom. The atom is the tiny unit that forms all the vessels in
the universe, and energy is what holds the nucleus together.
There's a huge amount of energy in the atomic dense nucleus.
