Generating Electricity From Wind
• A turbine converts wind energy into electricity.
• The blades of the wind turbine transfer energy to the gear box that transfers energy to the generator.
• Wind turbines on land are typically installed in rural locations, away from buildings and population centers.
• Turbines are typically grouped into wind farms or wind parks.

Hydro (Water) Disadvantages
• Creating the reservoir may flood agricultural land or places of archeological significance, and force people to relocate.
• Impounding a river can interfere with organisms that depend on a free-flowing river.
• Downstream ecosystems are affected.
• Siltation The accumulation of sediments, primarily silt, on the bottom of a reservoir.

Biomass
• Use of wood is unsustainable if forest growth does not keep up with forest use.
• Charcoal is lighter than wood and contains twice as much energy per unit of weight. It also produces less smoke.
• In regions where wood is scarce, people often use dried animal manure as a fuel for indoor heating and cooking. Burning manure indoors creates indoor air pollution.

Passive Solar Design
Construction designed to take advantage of solar radiation without active technology.
• Using passive solar energy can lower your electricity bill without the need for pumps or other mechanical devices.
• Building the house with windows along a south-facing wall which allows the Sun’s rays to warm the house is an example of passive solar design.

Our Energy Future
• As of now, no single energy can replace nonrenewable energy resources in a way that is completely renewable, nonpolluting, and free of impacts on the environment.
• A sustainable energy strategy must combine:•Energy efficiency
•Energy conservation
•Development of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources

Our Energy Future
• A sustainable energy strategy must consider the costs, benefits, and limitations of each energy source.
• Convenience, reliability, and logistical considerations are also important.
• An efficient, self-regulating smart-grid electricity distribution network must also be put into place that accepts any source of electricity and distributes it automatically to end users.
