Hydro energy. As a renewable energy resource, hydro power is one of the most commercially developed. By building a dam or barrier, a large reservoir can be used to create a controlled flow of water that will drive a turbine, generating electricity. This energy is: Reliable. Easy to store. Cheaper to setup than other renewable sources.
READ MORE3 · Background Info. Vocabulary. In any discussion about climate change, renewable energy usually tops the list of changes the world can implement to stave off the worst effects of rising temperatures. That''s because renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, don''t emit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
READ MOREThe wind, the sun, and Earth are sources of renewable energy . These energy sources naturally renew, or replenish themselves. Wind, sunlight, and the planet have energy that transforms in ways we can see and feel. We can see and feel evidence of the transfer of energy from the sun to Earth in the sunlight shining on the ground and the
