Energy Sources
Renewable energy is energy that can be re created or is replenished. Renewable energy sources are identified as a clean source of energy (minor impact on our environment.) The sun is the Earth’s main energy source. The energy source from the sun is extremely plentiful. The sun creates thermal (heat) as well as radiant (light) energy. The thermal and radiant energy is then dispersed in our environment in a multitude of ways. We can collect the light energy of the sun directly, solar energy, or we can use related renewable energy sources such as wind, biomass and hydro power. 1
Not all energy sources can be replenished or abundant. Non-renewable energy such as gasoline does not get replenished for a very long time. Most non-renewable energy sources appear from the ground in liquid, gas or solids. Although non-renewable energy sources can’t be replenished and are also harmful to the environment, however non-renewable energy makes up 90% (2011)12 of our energy. There are many different forms of non-renewable energy such as: Oil and petroleum products, Natural gas, Coal, and Uranium.1
