Activity 3.2.3 - Alternative Energy: Hydroelectric Energy
Alternative Energy The majority of energy that the globe uses is non renewable, harmful energy that will eventually run out. Alternative energies are different sources of energy that can be reused and renewed, without harming the earth as much as non renewable ones. Non renewable energies are things like fossil fuels such as coal, which cannot be renewed, and create tons of carbon emissions that damage the earth over time. These negative effects on earth are why scientists and regular people alike are finding new ways to power the world. Alternative energy is starting to become a new prominent topic in the world’s search for longevity. These types of energies such as wind, solar, and hydro are all examples of how scientists are figuring out ways to make the world healthier, while still providing power to it. The energies that are being studied can last longer than fossil fuels, renew just as much as they are used, and they are more sustainable for the environment. Although there is con...
