Renewable Energy Resources

2. Renewable energy is energy which comes from
natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain,
tides, and geothermal heat, which are
renewable (naturally replenished).

3. Solar Panels capture the energy and helps
convert it to electricity.

4. Wind turn turbines to produce
electricity.
Wind mills have been used since 1180 AD

5. The impact of rain produces energy
The impact of each raindrop has the potential to
produce energy.

6. Tidal action can produce energy
The ocean can produce thermal energy from the
sun's heat and mechanical energy from the tides
and waves.

7. Geothermal energy
Captures the earth’s internal heat to produce
many types of energy.

8. It is estimated less than 35 percent of the worlds
energy is produced by a renewable resource. It
is likely that as the world energy demands
increase, so will the use of the many types of
renewable energy producers.
