16.  A technology building with the purpose of taking the crude oil and separating it into the different kinds of fuel and other products used by consumers.

18.  One product made from crude oil at the refinery but NOT made into fuel.  Petrochemicals are found in plastics (remember the word RESIN), paints, medicines and cosmetics

19.  A technology that converts sunlight to thermal energy (aka heat) without needing extra pumps or machinery.  Similar to how the inside of a car gets hotter when sitting in the sun versus sitting in the shade.

20.  A ________that converts sunlight to _______energy (aka heat) without needing extra pumps or machinery.

22.  A technology that converts sunlight to thermal energy (heat) using extra machinery, like pumps and fans.  PRO: no air pollution  CON: technology is still expensive

24.  Actually a form of passive solar energy, fastest growing technology for green energy  The sun heats up the air unevenly (thanks for hanging in space unevenly Earth!), causing it to move about the planet as thermal energy moves the air molecules.
