Fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas)

Combined heat and power plant(CHP)

How it works

In action

Solar power

Lots of mirrors….. Lots of panels…..

Solar power plant in Tabernas desert, Andalusia, Spain

HEP (Hydro-electric [water])

Geothermal

Wave powerThere have been several attempts to harness wave power but none has been very effective but maybe this one…..

The Pelamis [Wave Energy Converter] is composed of cylindrical sections linked by hinged joints. The waves cause movement which is joints is resisted by hydraulic rams, which pump high-pressure oil through hydraulic motors. The hydraulic motors drive electrical generators to produce electricity. Several devices can be connected together and linked to shore through a single seabed cable.
