Hello students. I’d like to tell you some information about types and sources of energy. Energy is classified into
two main groups: renewable and non-renewable.
The energy from natural sources such as the sun, wind, and rain is called renewable energy. They are plentiful
and can be generated again and again. They also have low carbon emissions so they are considered green and
environment-friendly. Moreover, using renewable energy can reduce your electricity costs. Unfortunately, solar
energy can be only used during the daytime but not during night or the rainy season.
Non-renewable energy is the energy taken from other sources that are available on earth. They are limited and
will run out in the future. They can’t be re-generated in a short time. Fossil fuels - natural gas, oil and coal - are
examples of them. They are cheap and easy to use. However, when burnt, they release toxic gases in the air so
they cause serious environmental changes such as global warming. And the important thing is that non -
renewable sources will expire someday.
