Green Power is the term that refers to any form of electricity from a renewable source, such as wind Power, , hydro Power, , solar power, .
Renewable Power may be acquired in some 30 states, unfortunately, not in all 50 of them, from an alternative electricity supplier. Even if your state doesn’t offer alternative electricity, you may still be able to buy green energy certificates. This means that you might have to transfer from your current power company in order to purchase these green tags. ,
Hydro-power or water power has been in use for hundreds of years and is still the most common form of energy used today. The downfall of this has been that electric plants could only be built near a water supply and a river would have to be dammed up to create a water fall to turn the turbines. This gives hydro energy a limited range for consumers. ,
A survey from Siemens USA states that Wind power is the fastest growing energy source on the planet. , Wind Power uses massive wind mills that turn powerful turbines, usually found in large scale wind farms, to produce an efficient amount of energy all over the world, providing electricity to remote areas. , Siemens has 6,300 wind turbines all over the world, including their offshore wind Farms.
Solar energy has been used for many years, mostly to heat water heaters and swimming pools; they have recently created solar panels that heat residential homes., Solar power takes energy from the sun and converts this energy into electricity.
