Parent topics
Earth science: The study of the components and processes of the planet Earth. [e]- Energy (science): A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
Engineering: a branch of engineering that uses chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems involving fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. [e]- Politics: The process by which human beings living in communities make decisions and establish obligatory values for their members. [e]
Subtopics
- Biofuel: Liquid and gaseous fuels which are in some way derived from biomass. [e]
- Biomass: A source of renewable energy, is biological material such as wood, wood waste, municipal solid waste, straw, sugar cane, algae, and many other byproducts derived from agricultural and forestry production as well as other sources. [e]
- Energy Policy: Add brief definition or description
- Environmental engineering: A field of engineering devoted to remediation of all forms of pollution. [e]
- Geothermal power plant: An electrical power plant that extracts heat energy stored beneath Earth's surface and uses it to generate electricity. [e]
- Hydropower: Diverse forms of power produced by or with water. [e]
- Hydroelectric power: converts the energy in falling or flowing water in dams into electricity by directing falling or flowing water through water turbines which spin electrical generators that produce electricity; see the Hydroelectricity article in Wikipedia. [e]
- Solar power: Energy sources based directly on the sun's electromagnetic radiation. [e]
- Tidal power: Energy flows associated with tidal action. Some sources posit it to be an important alternative energy source. [e]
- Wave power: Add brief definition or description
- Wind power: Uses turbines inside wind mills to generate electricity or pump water or do other work; see the Wind power article Wikipedia for details. [e]
- Wind power plant: An electric power plant that converts air movement (wind) into a useful form of energy by using wind turbines to generate electricity. [e]

- Energy (science): A measurable physical quantity of a system which can be expressed in joules (the metric unit for a quantity of energy) or other measurement units such as ergs, calories, watt-hours or Btu. [e]
- Greenhouse gas: Gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit long-wave radiation. [e]
- Heat: A form of energy that flows spontaneously from hotter to colder bodies that are in thermal contact. [e]
- Hybrid vehicle: A vehicle powered by two or more sources of energy. One common form of hybrid automobile, for example, has both gasoline and electric engines, along with technology for shifting between the two under different conditions with only limited attention or intervention by the driver.
