Different Energy Sources

Different energy sources provide us with the power we require to live and work. These include solar, wind geothermal, biomass, and geothermal sources. These sources are not just an important source of electricity, but they can also be used to heat or transport. These energy sources produce greenhouse gases when burned to generate electricity. This leads to the need for more sustainable energy sources.

Fossil fuels are the most common type of energy. They include oil, coal and natural gas. They formed millions of years ago when prehistoric animals and plants died and were buried by layers of sedimentary rock. Under the right conditions they were gradually transformed into carbon-rich compounds that, when burnt produce energy. These fossil fuels cannot be recycled because they will run out within our lifetimes or in many lifetimes.

Renewable energy sources, on the other hand, are continually replenished. The most important renewable energy source is sunlight, which supplies heat and light. We use it for our homes business, cars, and homes. Wind is a renewable energy source that produces electricity through spinning turbines. Since the first time people realized how to harness the wind, we have been using it for millennia. We use biological processes to produce an ethanol (a clear, alcohol-like substance that can be used for fuel) from the waste of crops and other materials.

Hydropower is the main renewable energy source in America, but wind and biofuels will soon surpass it. Hydropower uses the natural water cycle to harness the power of water’s rapid flow, which in turn is used to produce electricity.
