Renewable Energy Solutions

Electricity has helped build new civilizations it is one of greatest discoveries of all time. Electricity is churned out by enormous turbines. Turbines are moved by:

1. Fossil Fuels (burning). Turbines are moved by vapour, and this is generated by heating a lot of water. Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are burnt to heat water, but the disadvantage of this method is that they produce a large amount of CO2 (carbon dioxide) that pollute the environment.

2. Water. Damps are used to generate electricity and to restrict great water bodies. When used for producing electricity, damps utilize river's flow move turbines. Generated this way helps control air pollution, but this also has a disadvantage: it affects the ecosystem within. 90% of electricity around the globe is produced through renewable resources like water.

3. Wind. Windmills or wind turbines are used to produce energy that then is converted to electricity. The latest in wind energy advancement tells us that wind energy is helping create portable cell phone chargers.

4. Nuclear Fission. This is not used only for creating atomic bombs but also to produce electricity. Nuclear fission causes a chain reaction where the element Uranium is bombarded by neutrons causing it to split. The cahin reaction created by this fission, is used to heat water vapour which eventually moves turbines to create electricity. This technology is most used in Europe.

5. Bio-Waste. New technology that uses bio-gas generated by organical wastes.
