Different Energy Sources

We require various energy sources to work and live. They include wind, solar geothermal, biomass, as well as geothermal sources. In addition to being a major source of electricity they can also be used to heat and transport. The main challenge with these sources of energy is that they can cause greenhouse gas emissions if they are burned to generate electricity. This leads to the need for more sustainable sources of energy.

The most commonly used type of energy is fossil fuels, made up of coal oil, natural gas. They began to form millions and millions of years ago when prehistoric plants and animals died and were buried by layers of sedimentary rock. When the conditions were right, these fossil fuels were gradually transformed into carbon-rich compounds that, when burned generate energy. These fossil fuels won’t be renewable as they will be depleted in our lifetimes or in a number of lifetimes.

Renewable energy sources however, are continually replenished. The most important renewable energy source is sunlight, which provides heat and light. We use it for our homes, businesses, and cars. Wind is an energy source renewable that generates electricity through spinning turbines. We have used it since humans first began to harness the wind for millennia. In the end, we employ biological processes to create ethanol (a clear alcohol that can be used to create fuel) from waste and crop residues.

Hydropower is the largest renewable energy source in America, however wind and biofuels will soon take over. Hydropower utilizes the natural water cycle to harness the power of water’s rapid flow, which is used to generate electricity.
