Different Energy Sources

Different energy sources refers to the various ways we collect and utilize energy. They include renewable and nonrenewable forms of energy. The type of energy source we choose depends on a variety of factors which include how it affects the environment and how easily accessible and affordable it is.

In 2018 fossil fuels (oil natural gas, and coal) made up 81 percent of all the energy produced in the world. These nonrenewable energy sources can harm the environment in many ways. For example the drilling of oil can have a devastating effect on wildlife and communities. Fracking causes water pollution. Power plants that use coal emit CO2.

Renewable energy is also referred to as green or clean power. It comes from resources that are constantly replenished like the sun wind, rain, and sun. It’s a great option to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and helping the planet.

But renewable energy isn’t just about protecting the environment; it’s also about being reliable efficient, cost-effective, and efficient. That’s why renewable energy is becoming more sought-after as a way to power our homes, businesses, and vehicles.

The most widely used renewable energy sources are wind, solar, hydropower, and nuclear. Solar energy makes use of technology to convert sunlight into electricity and heat. Wind energy harnesses the kinetic energy generated by moving air to create electricity and is used in many places around the world. Hydropower harnesses force of moving water to generate electricity. Nuclear energy utilizes the process of atomic fission to make electricity.
