Inc. , July 2010 properly! Technologies for generating electricity include: biomass, coal, natural gas, geothermal, hydro, landfill
gas, oil, solar, wind, nuclear, and municipal solid waste. Other technologies are leaning towards fuel cells, such as solar photovoltaics. As technologies improve and advance, new ways will be discovered
to generate electricity. Thermal methods to generate electricity include oil, peat, biomass, natural gas and oil (The Electricity Forum, 2010; Smithsonian National Museum of American History, 2010). In effect,
thermal methods involve energy that is trapped in the form of carbon in the ground. The energy is achieved by heating the carbon (The Electricity Forum, 2010). Burning carbon results
in carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the air. Biomass close to a generic name that refers to anything that is organic and includes things like timber, food processing wastes,
wastes from fuel crops, sewage sludge, animal manure and other wastes (PowerScorecard, 2010). Biomass plants burn the biomass fuel, thereby, creating steam, which is used in steam-electric generators. They use
combustion to generate the electricity, which means they can generate electricity any time (PowerScorecard, 2010). Most electricity is produced at plants that use huge rotating turbines that are attached to
generators (The Electricity Forum, 2010). The turbines may themselves be powered by any number of resources such as water, wind, steam or other fluids. Steam is usually used in both
fossil fuel and nuclear plants, water is used in hydroelectric dams (The Electricity Forum, 2010). There are two types of hydroelectric plants: one uses a reservoir, which would usually have
