While the sun or wind might be stronger in some places than others, we </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">won’t</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> run out of either of these types of energy, no matter how much of it is converted to energy. Renewable energy also has little to no impact on the environment. Solar panels and wind turbines can be installed in farm fields and other open spaces with little disruption to the environment</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">.  </span></span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div style="margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both; overflow:visible; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:12px;"><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10.6667px; padding:0px; font-kerning:none; background-color:transparent; color:windowtext;"><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures:none !important;"><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">Clean energy also can be generated without producing greenhouse gas emissions, but it has more of an environmental impact and may not be fully renewable. For example, nuclear power is considered clean energy because the nuclear reactions that are harnessed to produce energy </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">don’t</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> generate greenhouse </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; background-position:0px 100%; background-repeat:repeat-x; background-image:var(--urlContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2,url(&quot;data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHdpZHRoPSI1IiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMiPjxnIGZpbGw9Im5vbmUiIGZpbGwtcnVsZT0iZXZlbm9kZCIgc3Ryb2tlPSIjMzVGIiBzdHJva2UtbGluZWNhcD0icm91bmQiPjxwYXRoIGQ9Ik0wIC41aDVNMCAyLjVoNSIvPjwvZz48L3N2Zz4=&quot;)); border-bottom:1px solid transparent;">gasses</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">. But nuclear energy does generate radioactive waste that must be carefully stored or disposed of. Nuclear fuel is also nonrenewable</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">—</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">there is a limit to the amount that people will be able to produce. Hydroelectricity is a</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">nother</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> form of clean energy. Using running water to spin turbines generates power without greenhouse gas emissions. But the dams that house these turbines and control the flow of water through them can have large impacts on the river ecosystems that they alter. </span></span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div style="margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both; overflow:visible; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:12px;"><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10.6667px; padding:0px; font-kerning:none; background-color:transparent; color:windowtext;"><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures:none !important;">This map shows two layers.

The bigger the circle, the greater the </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">capacity</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">. Most of the time, </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">power plants </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">don’t</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> run at full capacity. This is an important measure to understand because it helps utility </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">companies </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">and government officials plan for times when a lot of people need to use electricity at once. This might be a time like </span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">a hot summer</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> evening when everyone wants to run their air conditioner to cool their home, commute home on trains that rely on electricity to run, cook dinner, turn on lights, and do other routine chores and activities that use electricity.

Hydroelectricity is a</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;">nother</span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px;"> form of clean energy. Using running water to spin turbines generates power without greenhouse gas emissions. But the dams that house these turbines and control the flow of water through them can have large impacts on the river ecosystems that they alter. </span></span><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif;"> </span></p></div><div style="margin:0px; padding:0px; clear:both; overflow:visible; color:rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family:&quot;Segoe UI&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Web&quot;, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size:12px;"><p style="margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:10.6667px; padding:0px; font-kerning:none; background-color:transparent; color:windowtext;"><span style="margin:0px; padding:0px; font-size:12pt; line-height:22.0875px; font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, sans-serif; font-variant-ligatures:none !important;">This map shows two layers.
