  1. 5 Ways Electricity is Generated By: Gabby Klos,Alexis Carter, and Allison Hilborn Wind Turbine

  2. First two ways Mechanical Energy Biomass or Fossil Fuels Mechanical Energy is using the wind or water, renewable resources that immediately turns a turbine and generates electricity. Fossil Fuels and Biomass, non renewable resources, generate electricity by being burned, this gives off their stored chemical energy that can change into steam, and power a turbine that will power an electrical generator.

  3. Third and Forth ways Natural Gases Nuclear Energy Natural gases are non-renewable resources that are burned and the gases coming from that are used to turn a turbine connected to a electrical generator. Uranium atoms, a non renewable resource, are split and the gases released are used to power a turbine connected to an electrical generator.

  4. Photovoltaic (PV) cells Photovoltaic cells are like solar panels, a renewable resource, to capture the suns energy and convert in into electricity.
