Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power Wind energy is a free, renewable resource, so no matter how much is used today, there will still be the same supply in the future. Wind energy is also a source of clean, non-polluting, electricity By 2030, 30% of the world’s energy will come from wind energy

The Earth's heat, which constantly flows outward from its core, provides an enormous source of energy called geothermal energy Geothermal hot water can be used for raising plants in greenhouses, drying crops, heating water at fish farms, and several industrial processes The heat produced can be used directly to provide heating and cooling in homes and other buildings

The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the world uses in a whole year. Solar energy used on farms can be used to operate electricity, heat and hot water to enrich their farms, businesses or homes Solar power provides economic development and energy independence to the farmers.

Flowing water creates energy that can be captured and turned into electricity. This is called hydropower or hydroelectric power If you have access to flowing water on your property, you can use a microhydropower system to generate your own electricity. Hydropower is extremely inexpensive, there is no waste products, and does not pollute the water or the air

Biofuels are fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, that are made from biomass materials instead of fossil fuels Farmers and ranchers can turn their waste into a great source of energy Biomass is organic matter, such as wood by-products and agricultural wastes, that can be burned to produce energy, or converted into a gas and used for fuel
