= Alternative Energies by: Paige Swenson =

In the world, we burn up a lot of our valuable resources such as, Coal, Gas, and Oil, and we are running out of them faster than we are saving them, and the gases from burning them affect our atmosphere. Here are some nice alternatives to those resources.

Solar Energy: The Sun can be used for lighting, an example, would be absorbing the sun using solar panels, and heat, for an example, could also be used in this situation.



Wind Energy: Down in Indiana, there is a lot of wind turbines, technically everywhere in the farm land! And I see why, because when we went to Indianapolis, there was a lot of buildings, cars, and lights that need energy, and Wind Turbines give them it. And some cars are also powered by wind, but they haven't really been put on the market yet. But the Ventomobile has been able to sustain the speed of 126 mph!



Biofuel: Biofuel is a type of gas used from different resources, like, soy, corn, and other vegetables. They have even made a Biodiesel, for trucks. But, some people dont like biofuel, saying that food is more important than fuel, which they are both half and half important.



Geothermal Energy: 24 countries in the World so far have been using Geothermal Energy for their electricity, and others use Geothermal Energy for heating. Iceland uses Geothermal Energy to melt snow off the sidewalk.
