However, because hydroelectric dams have an impact on land and
water environments, and because dams can only be efficiently located in a limited number
of places, some newer laws have been designed to encourage electricity generation from other renewable
sources, such
as wind, tides, geothermal energy, solar energy (photovoltaic cells, concentrated solar
power, and solar thermal energy), landfill gas, etc..
Sources of heat include: industrial and process sources such as power stations, industrial processes (such as chemical industries, clinical waste incinerators and food producers), building cooling systems and refrigeration (such as offices, supermarkets and data centres), sewerage systems and water treatment works, London Underground tunnels and electricity substations; and environmental sources — air, ground, water (that retain solar

Floating wind
power is fast taking shape
as a mainstream energy
source, with analysts upgrading their expectations
of market - size — though still far short
of Statoil's forecasts — from early estimates
of 3.5 GW by 2030 to around 5GW, led by the geographic fact that 60 - 80 %
of world's offshore wind resource is in
water too deep for bottom - fixed turbines, and the societal reality that ever - vaster populations are going to be inhabiting coastal mega-cities.
