Across
  1. 2. electricity generated from the movement of the tides
  2. 3. a device that converts the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical energy
  3. 4. fuel from organic sources
  4. 6. the use of technology to collect, store, and distribute the sun’s energy
  5. 8. a device that converts hydrogen or another fuel into electricity
  6. 10. the process of changing the solar energy stored in the ocean to electric power
  7. 11. a power plant that uses wind turbines to generate electricity
  8. 12. using the design of a building (versus technology) to collect, store, and distribute the sun’s energy
  9. 14. a device that converts solar energy directly into electricity
  10. 15. electricity generated by the combustion of organic materials
  11. 16. a process that releases hydrogen by using an electric current to break down water molecules
  12. 17. a technology that uses the heat of the sun to generate electricity; mirrors focus the sun’s energy, which is used to heat the water that fuels electric power plants
Down
  1. 1. a type of renewable energy that is generated deep within the earth; produced by the breakdown of radioactive elements and high pressure together
  2. 5. a metal box that absorbs the sun’s energy to heat water or air
  3. 7. a network of pipes that circulates water from the ground (for heating) and back into the ground (for cooling)
  4. 9. electricity generated from the energy of moving water
  5. 13. the energy produced from organic materials (e.g., plants and human wastes)
