The world is consuming energy out for nothing, for those who don't realize and just taking it for granted. We must remember that the energy we are using come from fossil fuels, which are considered non- renewable. In my article, I am going to emphasize five basic alternative sources of energy.
Hydro-electricity - This is generated from fast and strong moving water. It creates a lot of energy, since the days of watermills. Currently use on turbines, generators and dams, making the generator to collect electricity, and now being used in many places as a main source of energy.
Geothermal energy- is a dependable supply of electrical power with less environmental impact. The water underground produces pressure because of magma and flows at the surface. Upon this process, the pressure is decreasing hence resulting to become steam. The steam produces electrically charged particles that move to power lines and transformers.
Wind Energy - Another renewable energy source and is very profitable to the world. It produces energy that is transmitted through wires to power anything necessary. Wind power is currently used to generate power without harming the environment.
Solar Energy - Energy that comes from the sun's heat using solar panels. It can be converted to electricity for home. Presently, the solar energy is being substantially used for small things such as streetlights and in the areas that have gather enough sunlight to produce energy for cooking, heating, ventilation.
Gasification- it's a process capable of generating electricity and producing fuel through combustion method. Convert all the garbage into green electricity.
