Solar energy: 2 ways, passive and active. Active: solar panels Passive: using the sun as a heater Geothermal energy: heat coming from the earth, 2 ways geothermal power pump and geothermal power plant Hydropower: a cross section of a typical hydroelectric dam. Tidal power: like hydro power but uses a 2-way water system Ocean thermal energy conversion: exploits the temp differences between warm surface water and cold water at depth to run a heat engine Wind energy: uses wind mills to make energy Biomass: derived from organic matter, burning fire wood
