Natural GasIn 2008 there was a construction built in Mortlake for Natural gas. The Mortlake power station project is a 550 MW gas -fired power near Mortlake in South Western Victoria. The construction also involves an 83 km underground Natural gas transmission pipeline.

station

Solar EnergyAbout Solar Energy

Solar energy is energy from the sun . The two types of Solar Energy that make it to earth are heat and light. The nuclear reaction from the solar releases energy that travels outward to the surface of the sun. Along the way, the energy transforms and by the time it is released it is primarily light energy (sunlight).

Wave PowerWhat is wave

power?

Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves. Wave power generation is not currently a widely employed commercial technology although there have been attempts at using it since at least 1890.

Interesting facts

. The first experimental wave farm was opened in Portugal

. There is enough energy in ocean waves to meet

the worlds energy needs five times over

The type of energy I prefer

I prefer Solar energy rather then wave energy because it is simple and effective. The solar panel is very fascinating and I think that Solar Energy is a very effective and constructive way of creating energy.
