Wind tops list as most promising renewable energy source – Futurity.

What is jellyfish power?

Beyond the human body, jellyfish could become the next big renewable energy source. The key lies in a jellyfish’s green fluorescent protein (GFP), which is what gives some jellyfish their eerie glow. This substance reacts to UV light and excites electrons. Consider this in the context of solar panels.

How does the sun get energy?

The sun’s energy comes from within the sun itself. The sun generates energy from a process called nuclear fusion. During nuclear fusion, the high pressure and temperature in the sun’s core cause nuclei to separate from their electrons. Hydrogen nuclei fuse to form one helium atom.

Is there a limited or unlimited supply of energy?

There is an unlimited supply of the energy source. Non-renewable energy sources cannot be used again or recycled. There is a limited supply of the energy source. Why do you think we mostly use non-renewable energy sources?
