The world uses many different energy sources. In 2018 fossil fuels like gas, oil and coal, made up more than 81 percent energy consumed. Renewables, such as solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity and biomass, account for 14 percent. Nuclear energy accounts for another 5percent. Different countries employ different sources of energy to meet economic needs and environmental concerns.
Nature’s energy is available in a variety of forms such as wind, sun, waves, and ocean. These sources of energy can be transformed into more practical energy forms, such as electricity or heat when they are harnessed. These sources are non-renewable resources of energy when they are exhausted.
The environment is harmed by a variety of fossil fuels as well as some other non-renewable sources of energy. For instance mining for oil could take away the planet’s forests. Hydraulic fracture (fracking) can trigger earthquakes and water pollution. Carbon dioxide is released when coal is burned, which contributes to global warming.
Fortunately there are many promising sources of energy are renewable and sustainable. Wind, solar and hydropower produce, for instance, electricity without having to dig up new sources.
Other renewable energy sources are emerging, such as wave power and tidal energy. To be used at an enormous scale, these technologies need to have effective distribution networks. This requires the use of non-renewable energy sources to build these networks. This means that these sources aren’t able to provide the bulk of our energy needs. It’s vital to remember that the prices of renewable energy equipment have drastically decreased in recent years and the efficiency of these equipments is growing.
