Most of the countries in the world have searched for alternative sources of energy

underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power heat from the earth

from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago hydroelectric power provided one third of the
electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only five percent. The oceans
are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways to convert the
energy of ocean currents, tides, and waves to electricity. Experiments are also underway
to make use of the temperature differences in ocean water to produce energy.
