Clean energy

Clean energies are forms of energy which do not pollute the air, the ground, or the sea.

Clean energies include:

• • Solar power and its derivitaves:
    • Wind power
    • Wave power
    • Ocean current power
    • Ocean thermal energy convertion
    • Salinity gradient power
  • Lunar derived power such as:
    • Tidal power
  • Geothermal power

Some renewable energies are not clean energies - for example:

• Biofuels because they release NOX and particulates into the environment.
• Hydroelectric power because it destroys the river basin and has a negative effect on fish migration.
