Clean energies include:

Some renewable energies are not clean energies - for example: Solar power describes a number of methods of harnessing energy from the light of the sun. ... Wind power is the kinetic energy of wind, or the extraction of this energy by wind turbines. ... Waves overtopping a test wave generator of the so-called Wave Dragon in Nissum-Bedding, Denmark. ... This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ... Tidal power is a means of electricity generation achieved by capturing the energy contained in moving water mass due to tides. ... Thermally active area, New Zealand. ...

  • 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.

Clean Energy from Ergon Energy is the renewable energy program that gives you a simple way to help save the environment, and help us use less of the fossil fuels that contribute to about 25% of the greenhouse gas emissions in the Earth's atmosphere.
Clean Energy is derived from renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and biomass, and we are also interested in further pursuing the development of hydro electricity.
The 'Clean' electricity is fed into the grid along with conventional electricity, and is passed on through normal poles and wires, so you won't have to worry about the reliability of your electricity supply.
