The document discusses various renewable energy sources including wind, hydro, solar, biomass, geothermal, wave, tidal, and their operating principles. It notes the increasing use of these sources globally but also challenges such as intermittent supply, high costs, environmental impacts, and difficulty of large-scale implementation and energy storage. Overall renewable energy provides clean alternatives to fossil fuels but significant technological and economic challenges remain.

Editor's Notes
- Note that in the figures on this slide solar radiation is limited in the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast summer, and more so, in the winter. This points to the fact that an alternative energy future will require that each region and even municipality carefully consider energy options that will work for their particular needs and situation.
