In Go Green, we will discuss & show you ways to use green energy.
With the education articles & programs offered, you will learn about the types & practical uses are for Renewable/Green Energy.
Remember, over the past 30 years, research and development in Green Energy have grown, producing hundreds of useful new technologies that can decrease our addiction to coal, oil, and natural gas.
What is green energy?
Green Energy Defined
Green energy comes from natural sources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae, & geothermal energy. Green Energy sources are renewable, naturally replenished.
Why is Green Energy Better?
Fossil fuels have a limited resource that takes millions of years to form & continue to decrease with use. Renewable Green Energy sources have much less of an impact on the environment than fossil fuels, which generate pollutants such as greenhouse gases as a by-product, this contribution to climate change. Gaining access to fossil fuels demands either mining or drilling deep into the Earth, often in ecologically sensitive locations.
Green energy uses energy sources that are readily accessible all over the world, even in rural & isolated areas that don't might have access to electricity. Advancements in renewable energy technologies have reduced the cost of solar panels, wind turbines, & other sources of green energy; this puts the ability to generate electricity in the hands of the people rather than those of oil, gas, coal, &
utility corporations.
Green energy can replace fossil fuels in all major areas of use, including electricity, water, & space heating and fuel for motor vehicles.
6 of the most well-known types of green energy:
Solar power - The most common type of renewable energy, solar power typically produced using photovoltaic cells, which capture sunlight & turn it into electricity. Solar energy used to heat buildings & water, provide natural lighting, & cook food. Solar technologies have become inexpensive enough to power everything from small hand-held devices to whole neighborhoods.
Wind power - Airflow on the Earth's surface is used to run turbines, with more powerful winds producing more energy. High-altitude &
offshore areas can provide the best conditions for harvesting the most powerful winds.
Hydropower - or Hydroelectric Power, is produced by the Earth's water cycle (evaporation, rainfall, tides, and the force of water running through a dam). The more rainfall, the higher levels of energy it produces.
Geothermal energy - Under the Earth's crust are large amounts of thermal energy. People have used geothermal energy in the form of hot springs for ages for bathing, & now it's used to produce electricity.
Biomass - (Recently-living natural materials) examples are wood waste, sawdust, and flammable agricultural. These natural wastes are converted into energy with less greenhouse gas emissions than oil-based fuel sources.
Biofuels - Rather than burning biomass to generate energy,
these renewable natural materials can be converted into fuel. Examples include ethanol & biodiesel.
