∙ 11y agoThese are the main ones I can think of:
1) Wind energy- from the wind
2) Fossil Fuels- coal, natural gas, and oil (nonrenewable
3) Hydroelectric energy- from falling water
4) Geothermal energy- heat from underground
5) Tidal Energy- tidal waves
6) Nuclear Energy- energy from Uranium atoms
7) Solar energy- energy from the Sun
8) Biofuels
They all work about the same
1) The energy heats water to make steam
2)Steam turns turbines
3)Turbines turn generators
4) Generators creates a usable form of electricity
