Wind Power<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Warm air and cool air mix together and make wind. It moves a wind turbine and it makes electricity. Some people think wind turbines are noisy and scare animals. If they were none of them then we would have no electricity. Lots of wind turbines are put together and then that\u2019s called a wind farm.\u00a0 Non- polluting can be a predictable force.\u00a0 One wind turbine can power over 200 homes. That\u2019s why there are not very many about. Some people keep them at their houses like this one in the photo. \"\"<\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n

Water Power<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Water Wheels<\/span><\/h3>\n

Water comes above a big water wheel. It goes around and the water goes in to a stream. Well they are supposed to go around. It has to have water at the top so it work wheels. This water wheel is the Quendale water wheel in Shetland.<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hydro Power<\/span><\/h2>\n

When people burn coal or wood the energy is used up. Other types of energy you can use again and again. Water is one of those energy. \u00a0The biggest hydroelectric power stations are The Three Gorges Complex on the Chang-Jing River in China. The energy in water can be converted to electrical energy by forcing the water to flow through a turbine.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Solar Power<\/span><\/h1>\n

You can get solar panels nearly anywhere in the world. It took a long time to invent them. Most of the time they are on top of people\u2019s houses for under floor heating but sometimes they can be used for other things like calculators and some toys.\u00a0 Storing solar power is really hard. In one hour the sun can make enough energy to power what the world needs for a year!\u00a0\u00a0 There are two different kinds of solar panel.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
