Sustainable Energy Alternatives

Sustainable Energy Alternatives

There are many alternative energy sources that are sustainable and do not pose the accident risks inherent in nuclear energy production. These sources include:

1.

Bioenergy: biomass, such as plant matter and animal waste, can yield power, heat, steam, and fuel.
2.

Geothermal: renewable heat energy can be harnessed from deep within the earth.
3.

Wind: turbines turning in the air convert kinetic energy in the wind into electricity.
4.

Solar: the sun's energy can be captured and used to produce heat and electricity.
5.

Hydrogen: if produced by renewable sources, it can power fuel cells to convert chemical energy directly into electricity, with useful heat and water as the only byproducts.
6.

Tidal: using the movement of the ocean to power turbines and generate electricity.
