Renewable Energy * Wind * Solar * Geothermal * Biomass * Hydroelectric Wind Energy Wind Energy is an effect of the sun 's uneven heating of the atmosphere. Wind energy is commonly harnessed by turbines. Wind is formed when warm air expands and rises up, while cold air condenses and sinks. Wind energy can be used to power boats or even charge a battery. Although, it 's almost a perfect choice, it has its setbacks. The generators need a lot of land in order to function properly and if…

An advantage of growing corn for use in ethanol production is that corn is a readily available crop in the United States, and there would no longer be a need to import materials to produce fuel. This would also benefit the agriculture industry by providing more jobs to corn planters. Going this route also would lessen the dependence on the Middle East and other countries for oil and fuel. Growing corn for use in ethanol production would also be a more energy efficient way, because there would be…
