What do wind turbines hydroelectric dame and ethanol plants have in common?

All of the above are examples of renewable energy sources.

Renewable energy sources are sources of energy that are naturally replenished. This means that they do not run out, unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas.

Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy. Hydroelectric dams use the potential energy of water to generate electricity. Ethanol plants convert biomass, such as corn or sugarcane, into ethanol, which can be used as a fuel.
