Conservation Corner > For Kids

Did you ever wonder where we get electricity? It comes from big power plants that make the electricity that lets us turn on lights, watch TV, run the air conditioner or heat our homes.

Right now, nuclear and fossil fuels are primarily used to make our electric power. NC GreenPower will help us find other ways of making electricity.

Electricity that is made from natural resources like the wind, sun and water. The electricity isn’t really green – but this kind of electricity is cleaner. So North Carolina can stay green and beautiful.

Tell your parents about NC GreenPower. And have fun with these links to kids' energy sites!
