More Forms of Renewable Energy
Biodiesel is just one of many forms of renewable energy. Just think of the earth's natural energy - sunlight, wind, waves, and heat deep within the Earth. These sources can be captured for use at home AND THEY WILL NEVER BE DIMINISHED. Here are some examples of ways these natural energy sources are harnessed for human use:
• Solar Energy - You can trap some of the sun's enormous amount of energy by using solar panels. The solar panels will convert the sunlight into electricity. Let the sun do all the work for you! Did you know
solar energy is not only used for space heating, but also for cooking, heating water, and COOLING?

• Geothermal Energy - You can use the heat caused by magma deep beneath the earth's crust to create energy.
• Wind Energy - stick a wind turbine in the ground where the wind blows strong and let the wind create electricity for you!
