Different Energy Sources

Different energy sources provide us with the power we need to live and work. They include wind, solar and geothermal as well as biomass sources. In addition to being an important source of electricity, these sources can also be used for heat and transport. The biggest issue with these sources of energy is that they could cause greenhouse gas emissions when burned to generate electricity. This leads to the need for more environmentally sustainable energy sources.

The most widely used type of energy is fossil fuels, made up of coal, oil, and natural gas. They were created thousands of years ago when prehistoric animals and plants died and were then buried under layers of sedimentary rocks. After that, under the right conditions, they were gradually converted to carbon-rich substances that, when burned produce energy. The fossil fuels cannot be renewable since they will run dry in our lifetimes or in a variety of years.

Renewable energy sources are, however are constantly replenished. The sun is the main source of renewable energy as it provides both light and heat. We utilize it for our homes, businesses, and cars. Wind is another renewable energy source, which generates electricity by spinning turbines. We have been using it since the first began to harness the wind for millennia. In the end, we employ biological processes to make alcohol (a clear alcohol that can be used as a fuel) from waste and crop residues.

Of all these sources hydropower is the biggest renewable energy source in the United States, though wind and biofuels are likely to become the dominant source in the near future. Hydropower is a natural cycle to harness water’s rapid flow, which can be used to produce electricity.
