Berikut energi yang dapat diperbaharui yang berasal
dari angin, laut, matahari, dll. Mungkin ini
alternatif yang patut dikembangkan jika minyak dan gas
sudah habis.

Salam

The world population in the year 2100 will be in
excess of 12 billion. If the current trends in
technological progress and innovation continue, the
demand for energy then will be five times greater than
what it is now. If we continue the policy of using
coal, oil and gas at the present rate, then by the
year 2010 the global temperature will have increased
by two degrees Celsius . We do not need reminding of
the adverse effects of this: the increased risk of
flooding in lowland areas, the processes of
desertification, and changing climate all over the
world.

It is a known fact that at the present moment
renewable energy contributes only 11% to our primary
energy . If we intend to do something about our
planet, to safeguard our future and to create a
healthy environment for the generations to come, then
we must all actively utilize renewable energy in our
daily life. It is expected that 60% of all our energy
will come from renewable energy by the year 2070. The
sooner we employ the attitude that today is better
than tomorrow, the greater the opportunity to increase
this figure to 80%.

Wind Energy Topics
Wind energy uses the energy in the wind for practical
purposes like generating electricity, charging
batteries, pumping water, or grinding grain. Large,
modern wind turbines operate together in wind farms to
produce electricity for utilities. Small turbines are
used by homeowners and remote villages to help meet
energy needs.

More basic information about wind energy is also
available. 

Wind Energy Technologies
Modern wind turbines are divided into two major
categories: horizontal axis turbines and vertical axis
turbines. Old-fashioned windmills are still seen in
many rural areas. 

Wind Turbine Use
Wind turbines are used around the world for many
applications. Wind turbine use ranges from homeowners
with single turbines to large wind farms with hundreds
of turbines providing electricity to the power grid. 

Research
Research advances have helped drop the cost of energy
from the wind dramatically during the last 20 years.
Research is carried out by research labs,
universities, and utility organizations. 

Wind Resource
The wind is the fuel source for wind energy. The
United States has many areas with abundant winds,
particularly in the Midwest and Great Plains.
Understanding the wind resource is a crucial step in
planning a wind energy project. Detailed knowledge of
the wind at a site is needed to estimate the
performance of a wind energy project. 

Environment
Wind energy is considered a green power technology
because it has only minor impacts on the environment.
Wind energy plants produce no air pollutants or
greenhouse gases. However, any means of energy
production impacts the environment in some way, and
wind energy is no different. 

Economics
The cost of energy from the wind has dropped by 85%
during the last 20 years. Incentives like the federal
production tax credit and net metering provisions
available in some areas improve the economics of wind
energy.

Ocean Topics
Ocean energy draws on the energy of ocean waves,
tides, or on the thermal energy (heat) stored in the
ocean.

More basic information about ocean energy is also
available. 

Technologies
Wave Energy
The total power of waves breaking on the world's
coastlines is estimated at 2 to 3 million megawatts.
In favorable locations, wave energy density can
average 65 megawatts per mile of coastline. 

Tidal Energy
Tidal energy traditionally involves erecting a dam
across the opening to a tidal basin. The dam includes
a sluice that is opened to allow the tide to flow into
the basin; the sluice is then closed, and as the sea
level drops, traditional hydropower technologies can
be used to generate electricity from the elevated
water in the basin. Some researchers are also trying
to extract energy directly from tidal flow streams. 

Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) Systems
A great amount of thermal energy (heat) is stored in
the world's oceans. Each day, the oceans absorb enough
heat from the sun to equal the thermal energy
contained in 250 billion barrels of oil. OTEC systems
convert this thermal energy into electricity � often
while producing desalinated water.
