Energy

=﻿Energy = =these are types of energy = Here is a link to oil facts.
 * hydroelectricity  Hydroelectric energy is produced by the turning of turbines in a moving body of water. Hydroelectric energy is used for the same thing as coal and nuclear energy. It can be used to power anything on a power grid. Here is a picture of a hydroelectricity generator.[[image:http://www.porta-us.com/images/box_canyon_3.jpg width="273" height="237"]]﻿Hereis a link to more facts on hydroelectricity.
 * natural gas ﻿Natural gas is a gas contaning methane. It is found with fossil fuels in beds of coal,as methane clathrates, and is created by methanogetic organisms found in bogs,marshes,and landfills. Its a very important resource.Natural gas is made of plant and animal matter that has been exposed to tremendous﻿ pressure and heat for millions of years.
 * wind Wind is genertaed into power by wind turbines .[[image:http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/images/gr_wind_turbines.jpg caption="Wind turbines in Yorkshire"]]These wind turbines are able to generate power by spinning in the wind like a pinwheel.Many wind turbines are in groups called a plant or a wind farm. Most wind turbines are built at the highest point in the area. They do this because higher up in the air there is more wind which will cause the wind turbines to generate more power.Here is a link to wind turbine facts.
 * ﻿ oil The country that consumes the most oil is the USA. We use over 17 million barrels a day. Did you know that in 1996 the world consumed over 71.7 million barrels per day. Oil is pumped out of the ground by an oil well. Here is a picture of an oil well
 * coal  ﻿It takes over 1 million years for coal to be made.[[image:http://sp.ask.com/sa/i/sc/en/coal.jpg caption="coal" link="@http://wzus1.ask.com/r?t=a&d=us&s=a&c=p&ti=1&ai=30751&l=dir&o=0&sv=0a5c407f&ip=cc0adcdf&u=http%3A%2F%2Ftonto.eia.doe.gov%2Fkids%2Fimages%2Ftopper_icons%2Fcoal.jpg"]] Coal is a hard black rock made of hydrogen,carbon,oxygen,nitrogen,and sulpher. Coal is used to make batteries,disinfectants, and perfumes. Coal is a type of fossil fuel. It is formed by remains of plants that were protected by mud and water against oxidization and biodegradation.﻿﻿﻿﻿ ﻿﻿﻿Here is a link to coal facts﻿.
 * biomass <span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #0000ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"> ﻿Biomass is biological material including corn,switchgrass,and oilseed crops that can be converted into fuel.People use biomass for cooking and heating.Here is a link for facts on biomass.

They collect and store the sun's ﻿﻿energy to use for electricity. Here is what a solar panel looks like [[image:http://www.history.rochester.edu/class/solar/slrpanel.gif]]﻿ Here<span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #0000ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;"><span style="background-color: #00ffff; color: #0000ff; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">﻿ is a link for interesting facts on solar power.
