Many Types of Energy

Water Power

• Moving water produces energy
• Moving water is a source of clean renewable energy and a reliable energy source which converts kinetic energy from falling water into electricity
• It is the oldest method by which renewable energy has been harnessed by the human race 
• I saw a miniature dam by Mud Bay 

Fossil Fuels

• Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas come from the ground and can be turend into energy
• They are a non-renewable source of energy

Nuclear Power

• Nuclear energy is a clean, safe way to make electricity. It does not burn any fuel like coal so there are no pollutants released into the air.
• It uses however, a fossil fuel, uranium.

Wind Power

• Turbines create electricity from wind.
• It is a renewable form of energy because we never run out of wind.
• The windmill was the first form of technology. 
• Wind is a source of clean renewable energy
• Scientists use wind tunnels to learn what shapes move fastest.

            

Solar Power 

• most solar power comes from the sun 
• poor countries use solar panels
• solar panels on the roof provide heat and hot water
• satellites use solar power panels for power.
