The two types of energy resources I chose were wind energy and biofuel energy. Wind energy uses turbines which convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This power can be used for a generator‚ a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools‚ and many others. Biofuel energy unlike other renewable energy sources can be converted directly into liquid fuels for our transportation needs usually found from dead plants and animals

Wind Energy Wind energy is the most efficient and cheapest form of electricity today and with one megawatt of energy it can light up two hundred fifty to three hundred households wile also helping the environment stay clean. Wind energy has many advantages as well as disadvantages to it just like everything else in the world. It is very helpful to the environment in most way but could be harmful in others. There are over forty-five thousand wind turbines in the United States which house twenty

Why Do We Need Solar Energy? With the world’s natural resources depleting rapidly‚ humans must find a way to compensate. This society has milked oil‚ coal‚ gasoline‚ lead‚ uranium‚ and many other of these reservoirs in our Earth for hundreds of years and much has been done. Asphalt was used for our roads and highways‚ coal was originally used for heat before there was oil‚ and even water was used as a form of electricity on many rural farms. Luckily‚ more companies around the world are waking
