What are the different energy sources that are used to deliver energy to your community?

The energy sources that I am most excited about all have lower carbon emissions, compared to conventional energy sources. These include Biomass Energy, Wind Energy, Solar Energy, Geothermal Energy, and Hydroelectric Energy sources.


What do you think about solar energy?

I believe solar energy is a great alternative to be used as a power source as it helps conserve our other natural resources and does not pollute or harm the environment. Applying solar energy to machinery and equipment is also a very simply procedure and does not require as much attention and surveillance as other power sources such as fuel. Companies are well aware of the advantages of solar energy and has begun to market it accordingly; this in itself showcases how it is becoming more popular.


The importance of conserving energy sources?

There is great importance in conserving energy sources. Conserving these energy sources will cut down on the pollution that contributes to Global Warming.
