What Are the USs Top Renewable Energy Sources?
2

• Throughout the world, many nations rely on fossil
  fuels like coal, oil and natural gas to power
  homes and businesses, but due to their
  unsustainable nature and the way they contribute
  to global warming, more countries are beginning
  to switch to cleaner, renewable energy resources.
• In the US, the main sources of renewable energy
  are as follows
• Taking the top spot SOLAR ENERGY
• As our most powerful energy source, sunlight can
  be used to heat, illuminate and cool homes and
  businesses of all shapes and sizes. With
  continually evolving technology making the
  process even more efficient, more and more
  Americans are making the switch to solar, with
  some going off grid altogether.

• Sustainable, clean and accessible to all, solar
  power is the hottest source of energy on the
  planet today!
• Blowing the competition away WIND ENERGY
• For centuries throughout the world, wind energy
  has been used to sail ships and drive windmills,
  and today, wind energy is widely captured by huge
  turbines to generate electricity.

• Washing fossil fuels away HYDROELECTRICITY
• Water is a renewable source that is constantly
  being recharged by the global cycle of
  evaporation and precipitation. A powerful force
  when channelled to flow downstream, water wheels
  are powered to drive mechanical processes, and
  then captured by turbines and generators to
  generate electricity. A small turbine can even be
  used to power single homes.

• Waste not want not BIOMASS ENERGY
• For as far back as history goes, biomass has been
  an important energy source, and while wood
  remains the most common source of biomass energy,
  food crops, plants, agricultural and forestry
  waste and residue, and methane gas are harvested
  to produce electricity and fuel transportation,
  or manufacture products that would otherwise be
  dependent upon non-renewable fossil fuels.

• Its elemental my dear, Watson HYDROGEN
• As the most common element on Earth, hydrogen is
  found combined with other elements in nature, and
  once separated from them, can be used to power
  vehicles, replace natural gas for heating and
  cooking, and generate electricity.
• Deep, deep down GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
• Producing steam and hot water that can be used to
  power generators and produce electricity (or
  indeed, many other applications like heating and
  power generation for industry), the heat inside
  the Earth is converted to geothermal energy, and
  can be drawn from deep underground reservoirs by
  way of drilling.

• The motion of the ocean OCEAN ENERGY
• Providing a variety of forms of renewable energy,
  each driven by different forces, the energy from
  ocean waves and tides can be harnessed to
  generate electricity, while ocean thermal energy
  can also be converted to electricity. However,
  this is currently not a viable option on a large
  scale due to cost.
• The easiest (and arguably the most effective) way
  to make your contribution to reducing the worlds
  dependency on fossil fuels, is to use a renewable
  energy source such as solar, to power your home
  or business.
