Water
This is technical term for a dam
What is water impoundment?
What is south?
This is how electricity is generated from geothermal energy.
What is a turbine?
This is the idea of using steam from an electrical generation plant to heat nearby buildings.
What is cogeneration?
This is the largest renewable source of electricity generation in the United States is
What is hydroelectric?
A stair-like structure that allows migrating fish to navigate through a water impoundment system.
What is a fish ladder?
This type of renewable energy does not get it's energy from the sun.
What is either geothermal or hydrogen fuel cells?
In less developed countries, this fuel source is most commonly used for heating and cooking.
What is biomass?
This uses hydrogen to generate electricity that runs the motor for a vehicle.
What are (hydrogen) fuel cells?
This is the fastest-growing renewable energy source.
What is wind?
This city in the the Pac Northwest uses hydroelectric power to provide a lot of electricity to it's residents because it rains a lot there allowing many of it's rivers and lakes to be very full.
What is Seattle?
This type of energy uses the photons from the sun to excite electrons that result is a flow of current.
What are photovoltaic cells? (PV cells)
What are tectonic plate boundaries?
Hydrogen fuel cells generate electricity by combining hydrogen and oxygen, emitting only these two things in the atmosphere.
What is water and heat.
It costs this much a year to run a machine that uses 1kW of electricity when it's in use. It is run four 12 hour days per week and electricity costs $0.25 per kWhr.
What is $624?
Water is not the only thing that is held back as a consequence of a hydroelectric power plant. Sediment is also blocked from going downstream. The environmental consequence of this is this.
What is coastal erosion?
This is the biggest limitation of wind energy.
What is intermittent?
Some students think ground water heat is a geothermal energy source. However, the energy really originates here.
What is the sun?
This are released during the production of photovoltaic solar cells (PV cells) and has a negative impact on the environment?
This is the formula for percent change.
What is amount of change over original amount times 100.
This is the largest dam in the world.
What is the Three Gorges Dam in China?
This type of energy actually solar and NOT geothermal. It uses the ground that has been heated up by the sun to heat pipes.
What are ground source heat pumps?
The heat source is replenished by the Earth's internal processes, provided it is managed sustainably. That means that geothermal energy is this.
What is potentially renewable?
This is how hybrid cars charge their batteries without getting plugged in.
What is when the brakes are applied.
A restaurant dishwasher draws 1.0W of power to operate and is in operation 2,900 hours a year. This is the amount of kWh it uses in a year.
What is 2.9kWh?
