The world has a wide range of energy sources. In 2018 fossil fuels, like gas, oil and coal, were responsible for more than 81 percent of energy consumed. Renewables such as wind power, solar energy, biomass, and hydroelectricity make up 14 percent. Nuclear energy accounts for another 5 percent. Different countries employ different energy sources to balance environmental and economic requirements.

Nature’s energy is available in a variety of forms: sun, wind, waves and ocean. When harnessed and converted into more practical forms of energy, such as electricity or heat, these are referred to as primary sources. These sources of energy become non-renewable sources of energy when they are exhausted.

Many fossil fuels, as well as some of the other sources of energy that aren’t renewable are causing harm to the environment. For instance, oil mining can devastate the forest ecosystems of the planet. Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) can cause earthquakes and water pollution. Carbon dioxide is released when coal is burned which contributes to global warming.

Fortunately, many of the most promising sources of energy are renewable and sustainable. Hydropower, solar power and wind for instance, could generate electricity without having to search for new resources.

Tidal and Wave Power are also sustainable energy sources that are emerging. But, in order to be utilized in a large-scale manner, these technologies must have effective distribution networks. They need to be constructed and operate with the use of non-renewable energy sources. These sources aren’t sufficient to satisfy the majority of our energy requirements. It is important to keep in mind that the cost of renewable energy equipment have decreased dramatically in recent times and that efficiency is increasing.
