Other Renewable Energy Sources

As well as finding out ways to capture the natural energy of the sun and the wind, scientists are now discovering ways of using the sea, the earth and even waste to create electricity. Because these are all renewable resources, the energy they produce is called renewable energy. These forms of energy are also sometimes called “clean energy” because producing them does not create carbon dioxide or other harmful pollutants.

Tidal Energy

The movement of the ocean’s waves and tides through turbines is used to produce electricity in tidal power stations. However, building these systems can have a major impact on coastal environments.
