  7. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of wind into electrical power.
  8. Biofuels are liquid fuels (like ethanol and biodiesel) derived from biomass, used for transportation
  9. With advancements in storage, grid management, and efficiency, a full transition is possible, but it requires large-scale investments and policy support.
  10. It’s abundant, reduces electricity bills, and requires low maintenance.
  11. Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells.
  12. Uses waste materials, reduces landfill waste, and provides steady power.
  13. Can contribute to deforestation, air pollution, and require large land areas.
  14. It’s reliable, produces no direct emissions, and offers energy storage (pumped storage).
  15. Free!
