- Uranium Ore is mined, enriched, and used in nuclear power plants.
- Nuclear Power: Method of producing electricity by utilizing controlled nuclear fission. Its reaction is initiated in a nuclear reactor and heat from the reaction is used to generate electricity. - Photovoltaic cells are thin layers of silicon imbedded with metals that used for solar power. - Advantages: Higher energy content. - Disadvantages: Deforestations. - Energy from biomass produced by partially burning wood to remove moisture. - Energy from biomass is energy derived by directly burning plant material and animal waste, or by burning gasses and fuels produced from plant material and animal waste. - Turbine is a device that looks like a wind mill. - The rotational movement of the turbine will produce electricity to generator. - You can spin a turbine by: steam, wind, and moving water. - Hydroelectric Power" Moving Water electricity production. Hydroelectric Dams are used. - When sunlight strikes the photovoltaic cells, the PV cell electrons are produced to make electricity. - The Turbine is connected to an electrical generator that produces electricity as long as the turbine is spinning. - Windmills or turbines are turned by the power of the wind clean energy. - Geothermal Power: Using the heat stored underground to produce electricity, heat water, heat air, and cool buildings. - Geothermal power is a small percentage (%) of worldwide energy production.
