 Wind Energy captures the natural wind in our environment and

converts the air’s motion into mechanical energy. The

mechanism used to convert air motion into electricity is referred
to as a turbine. A major advantage of wind is that it is a clean
and renewable form of energy. Wind also has relatively low
operations and maintenance costs after initial construction.
 Geothermal energy refers to the production of energy using the
internal heat of the Earth’s crust. This heat comes from the
radioactive decay of minerals and continual heat loss from the
earth’s original formation. If managed appropriately, geothermal
is a renewable and sustainable form of energy because
it produces electricity using the natural heat from the Earth.
 Biomass refers to the organic material that is used for production
of energy. This energy production process is referred to as
Bioenergy.  Biomass is primarily found in the form of living or
recently living plants and biological wastes from industrial and
home use. The environmental benefits and costs are highly
contextual depending on the technology and feedstocks used.
 The energy harnessed from moving water can be used to
create electricity. The two most common
water energy technologies can be classified into two
groups: Hydropower and Tidal Power.
Hydropower is electrical energy derived from falling
(potential energy) or running water (kinetic energy). The
movement of the water turns the blades of a turbine, which is
connected to a generator.  This converts the
mechanical energy into electricity. Energy from water is
considered a renewable energy because it uses the Earth's
water cycle and gravitational pull to generate electricity.
 Natural gas is primarily methane (CH4) with smaller quantities of
other hydrocarbons[1]. It was formed millions of years ago when
dead marine organisms sunk to the bottom of the ocean and
were buried under deposits of sedimentary rock. Natural gas is
found in underground rocks called reservoirs. Natural gas
development (especially in the United States) has increased as a
result of technological advances in horizontal drilling
and hydraulic fracturing.
