- - - - hydroelectricity: We can use the flow of water to power a generator. In dams and rivers we can use the strong current of flowing water a turbine which consequently powers a generator. This is a reliable and green energy source because the flow of water is almost unlimited depending on the area.

      - wind energy: We can use wind energy as a sustainable energy source for us. A wind turbine turns mechanical energy into electric energy. When wind pases through a turbine blades are spun, this will power a generator which is then converted into energy.

      - solar energy: Solar energy is the use of photons to create an electric current. Is is seen in solar panels where we use a reliable and renewable energy source (the sun) to create green energy.

      - geothermal energy: We can use the heat of the earth's crust to craate a renewable type of energy. We can use the earth's heat to heat water, then this water is turned into steam by the heat of the earth's crust. This powers a turbine which then powers a generator.

  - - - Geothermal, Geothermal energy is heat energy generated and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy is the energy that determines the temperature of matter.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geothermal_energy
    - - Solar, Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics, indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power
      - Wind, Wind power is the use of air flow through wind turbines to mechanically power generators for electric power.

      - Tidal, Tidal power or tidal energy is a form of hydropower that converts the energy obtained from tides into useful forms of power, mainly electricity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_power
    - - Fossil fuels — coal, petroleum, and natural gas — are our main sources of energy, producing the vast majority of fuel, electricity, and heat used by people across the globe.

- - - - "nowadays, a lot of innovative means of transportation appear in our world. However, you may think it’s impossible for most ideas to be used in your daily life, but they became real." http://www.ierek.com/news/index.php/2016/12/08/the-most-innovative-eco-friendly-transportation-in-the-world/
    - - "civilisation will be forced to develop alternative energy sources. Our rate of fossil fuel usage will lead to an energy crisis soon. In order to survive the crisis many companies in the energy industry are creating new ways to extract energy from renewable sources." http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/technology/future-energy/
- - - - One of the most revolutionary inventions regarding the production of energy is the electricity generator. http://www.dieselserviceandsupply.com/How_Generators_Work.aspx
      - Certain energy source do not use electric generators, such as solar energy which is generated using solar panels. http://www.greenoughsolarfarm.com.au/solar-energy/what-solar-energy/
  - - - Hydropower draws mechanical energy from river, ocean waves and tides. A low-speed water turbine spun by flowing water can power an electrical generator to produce electricity.
