REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityWhat did you learn about wave and tidal energy? How do they compare to other energy sources?
Zachary Cavinder 10/20/2023 11:27 AMTidal energy is a renewable energy form like geothermal energy. It is harvested by turbines under the water. As the tide goes in and out the water moves the turbine and it creates energy. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONElectricityGeothermal energy is reliable, abundant, and efficient. Project Drawdown states that public investment will play a crucial role in its expansion. In what ways (i.e. with money, time, advocacy) can you invest in geothermal energy?
Zachary Cavinder 10/20/2023 11:24 AMDoing research to learn more about this kind of renewable energy is important. After researching you can then spend the money and start to advocate. -
