Energy
Nuclear

-
Waste and reactors
The waste that this energy produces is so toxic that it needs to be stored underground, so its condidered a storing problem. Helps produce nuclear weapons but the risks of an accident are high.
Thermal
It is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other.
-
-
Geothermal
Geothermal energy is thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter. The geothermal energy of the Earth's crust originates from the original formation of the planet and from radioactive decay of materials
-
Hydraulic
Is produced by water which is stored in reservoirs and lakes at a high altitude, so whenever it falls to a lower level, the potential energy it contained, transforms into kinetic energy, and afterwards into electrical energy in the hydroelectric plant.

-
Hydroelectric
Hydroelectric power, electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of falling or fast-flowing water into mechanical energy.
Hydroelectric energy is made by moving water. Hydro comes from the Greek word for water.
Hydroelectric energy has been in use for thousands of years.
-
Solar
Solar energy captures the sun's energy (photovoltaic power) and then it turns into electric energy. It works because of the collision of photons from the sunlight and the electrons on solar panels that are loose from their atoms.
-
Eolic
The process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks
-
Biomass
-
Produces: electricity, fuel or liquid biofuels, electricity in power plants.
Types of biomass: wood, garbage, crops, alcohol fuels, landfill gas.
-
Mechanical
Kinetic
Contrary to Potential energy, Kinetic energy occurs when an object is in motion. This energy is transfered from a work made on the object in order for it to move.
-
-
Potential
Every object stores energy even when it is not in motion. This happens when the object is held at an elevated position or when it is form is not at its equilibrium position.
