Solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal power can provide energy without the planet-warming effects of fossil fuels.
Hydroelectric power is a form of renewable energy that is created by harvesting energy from the gravitational force of flowing or falling water. This type of power first began to be harvested in ancient times when people used it to grind flour and for other uses. Further development to harvest...
