Our way of electricity

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renewable_energy_debate
We have many ways of getting electricity. 6 of the ways we get it are Wind, Solar, Hydropower, Natural Gas, Geothermal, Coal, and Nuclear energy. Wind energy is when the sun heats the earth and creates wind. Then we build giant structures made out of steel called windmills that the wind blows and the force of the windmills spooks moving makes energy. Solar energy is when people put things called solar panels on their roofs the sun heats them up and they turn the heat into energy. Hydropower energy is when people use the water in streams to turn a wheel in the water which then makes energy. Natural gasses are dug up from the ground and burned to make energy. Coal is the most popular form of getting energy and is mined for and burned to create energy. Then there's geothermal energy which is when you drill a whole in the earth and you use the energy from below earths surface. The last of the 6 is Nuclear, nuclear energy is when we use nuclear things and fuse them together in a process called fussion.

To show the greenhouse gasses and how they effect us we drew a graph of how the temperature is slowly rising over time. This relates to the way we get energy because the energy sources that we use can sometimes give out greenhouse gasses. Greenhouse gasses then create a layer around the earth that traps in heat and makes the earth warmer.
