Parent topics
- Earth science [r]: The study of the components and processes of the planet Earth. [e]
- Engineering [r]: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]
- Politics [r]: The process by which human beings living in communities make decisions and establish obligatory values for their members. [e]
Subtopics
- Biofuels [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Biomass [r]: A source of renewable energy, is biological material such as wood, wood waste, municipal solid waste, straw, sugar cane, algae, and many other byproducts derived from agricultural and forestry production as well as other sources. [e]
- Geothermal energy [r]: Extracts energy from the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface and uses it for space heating or for generating electricity; see the Geothermal power article on Wikipedia for details. [e]
- Hydropower [r]: Diverse forms of power produced by or with water. [e]
- Solar power [r]: Energy sources based directly on the sun's electromagnetic radiation. [e]
- Tidal power [r]: Energy flows associated with tidal action. Some sources posit it to be an important alternative energy source. [e]
- Wave power [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wind power [r]: Uses turbines inside wind mills to generate electricity or pump water or do other work; see the Wind power article Wikipedia for details. [e]
- Electric vehicle [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Energy efficiency [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Energy (science) [r]: A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
- Hybrid vehicle [r]: A vehicle powered by two or more sources of energy. One common form of hybrid automobile, for example, has both gasoline and electric engines, along with technology for shifting between the two under different conditions with only limited attention or intervention by the driver. [e]
- Hydrogen economy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- International Renewable Energy Agency [r]: A new intergovernmental organization that became operational in 2010 for promoting the global commercialization of renewable energy. [e]
- Rocky Mountain Institute [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Sustainable energy [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Geothermal power plant [r]: An electrical power plant that extracts heat energy stored beneath Earth's surface and uses it to generate electricity. [e]
- Greenhouse effect [r]: A general attribute of planets and moons with atmospheres denoting an imbalance between surface radiation and top-of-atmosphere radiation due to the presence of greenhouse gases. [e]
- Heat [r]: A form of energy that flows spontaneously from hotter to colder bodies that are in thermal contact. [e]
- Hot dry rock [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Hydroelectric power plant [r]: An electrical power plant that generates electric power by converting the energy in falling or flowing water into electricity. The falling or flowing water is directed through water turbines which spin electrical generators that produce electricity. [e]
- Photovoltaic [r]: Semiconductors that directly convert light to electricity [e]
- Tidal power plant [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Renewable energy commercialization [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Solar power plant [r]: An electrical power plant that generates electricity directly from sunlight either by using photovoltaics or by focusing solar radiation into a concentrated beam of heat that is used to generate steam for conversion into electric power. [e]
- Sustainable energy [r]: Energy that provides the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their energy needs. [e]
- Wave power plant [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Wind [r]: The movement of air produced by a change in heat on the earth's surface. [e]
- Wind power [r]: The conversion of air movement (wind) into a useful form of energy, such as using wind turbines to generate electricity, wind mills for mechanical power and wind pumps for pumping water. [e]
- Wind power plant [r]: An electric power plant that converts air movement (wind) into a useful form of energy by using wind turbines to generate electricity. [e]
- Wind turbine [r]: A rotating machine that converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy
