Columbia River Gorge Energy
The Columbia Gorge creates many types of energy that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels can’t be replaced and are used in many parts of our life, but they cause global warming and damage the ozone layer. The first type of energy is hydroelectric power. This uses river water and dams to send electricity to homes. Second, there is solar power. This uses solar panels to collect sunlight. Finally, there is wind power, which uses turbines that take advantage of the wind through the gorge. Help the Columbia Gorge and the Earth by turning off lights and taking alternative transportation such as walking or biking.
