I suppose it means capturing energy and using it for useful purposes. I don't think 'harnessing' is a good description, except in forms like hydro or wind, where the energy exists and we do have to collect it. Mostly energy is released by human activity, burning fossil fuels or using uranium, and if we didn't release the potential it would stay unused.

Harnessing the sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is what?
non-polluting
Harnessing the Sun's energy to produce heat or electricity is called what?
It is usually referred to as solar power.
What is the parts of tidal electricity?
The process of harnessing energy from the ocean's tide is very similar to that of harnessing water through a hydroelectric dam. As the turbines turn they create energy. This happens both as the tide comes in and as the tide goes out. The turbines' energy is then routed to storage generators and sent out through power lines to feed the power needs of the community.
Can the energy from splitting an atom be contained and used?
The French get the majority of their electricity by containing and harnessing the energy from splitting atoms. So yes, it's very doable.
What are the newest forms of renewable energy technology?
The newest forms of renewable energy include work with solar energy, hydrogen as well as work with harnessing the power of the ocean waves. Renewable energy technology is incredibly important in solving our energy crisis.
