pick a power source
click on each of these clean power sources and learn how they work!
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear power uses sustained nuclear fission (atoms splitting apart) to generate heat and electricity. It contributes almost 20% of electricity generated in America. It's extremely reliable and produces nearly 0 carbon dioxide!
Close
Fuel Cells
Fuel cells provide electricity from numerous fuels, commonly using hydrogen and water. Energy is generated through an electrochemical reaction, and can also generate heat and water. They're clean, efficient, and reliable.
Close
Bioenergy
Bioenergy is renewable energy derived from biological sources like forest residues, energy crops, and algae. It can be used for heat, electricity, and vehicle fuel. It's the largest source of renewable energy globally, accounting for 55% of it.
Close
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal energy takes heat from within the Earth. Wells are drilled deep down and then can tap into resources to convert it to clean power. It can run 24/7, is renewable, and has a small footprint!
Close
Wind Energy
Wind turbines collect and convert the kinetic energy from wind into electricity. It's cost effective and excellent in remote areas, providing 10.1% of America's electricity.
Close
Solar Energy
With solar energy, sunlight is converted to electricity either through panels or mirrors. While upfront costs can be high, work is being put in to decrease this, and it's great for long-term savings.
