Alternative Energies

In my post Al Gores challenge I wrote about three alternatives Energy resource. The city is working on energy that doesn't harm the environment. I took it upon myself to research various Energy sources such as Renewable energy which is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat. One new energy resources that wont harm the environment is Wave power.Wave power is a form of renewable energy is the energy of the ocean surface waves . Wave power is the energy from ocean surface waves it includes electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water into reservoirs and currents. Electricity generation is the process of converting non electrical energy to electricity. Desalinisation means several processes that remove excess salt and other minerals from water.

Another Alternative energy resources is Hydroelectricity. This is a form of hydro power, and is the most widely used form of renewable energy. It produces no waste, and does not produce carbon dioxide. This method stores energy in the form of water. It pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation
