Describe a way to produce energy that causes no environment harm
Solar Power
Photovoltaic (PV) Solar power is harnessing the suns energy to
produce electricity. Solar pannel or solar cell s are uses for
it.
Wind Power
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy by wind turbines into a
useful form, such as electricity or mechanical energy. Large-scale
wind farms are typically connected to the local power transmission
network with small turbines are used to provide electricity to
isolated areas.
Geothermal Power
Geothermal energy is a very powerful and efficient way to extract a
renewable energy from the earth through natural processes. This can
be performed on a small scale to provide heat for a residential
unit (a geothermal heat pump), or on a very large scale for energy
production through a geothermal power plant.
Hydro Electric Power
Hydro power systems can be installed in small rivers or streams
with little or no discernible environmental effect or disruption to
fish migration. It is absolutely free of cost energy.
Biomass Power
Biomass and biofuels are one of the largest renewable energies
currently in utlized worldwide due to availability and ease of use.
Environmental concerns from biomass fuel producting high amounts of
air pollution including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxide, and VOCs from traditional burning methods limit use in
developed nations.
Tidal Power
Tidal energy can be generated in two ways, tidal stream generators
or by barrage generation. The power created though tidal generators
is generally more environmentally friendly and causes less impact
on established ecosystems. Similar to a wind turbine, many tidal
stream generators rotate underwater and is driven by the swiftly
moving dense water.
Wave Power
Wave farms have been created and are in use in Europe, using
floating Pelamis Wave Energy converters. Most wave power systems
include the use of a floating buoyed device and generate energy
through a snaking motion, or by mechanical movement from the waves
peaks and troughs.
