The world uses many different energy sources. In 2018 fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal, accounted for more than 81 percent energy consumed. Renewable energy sources such as wind power, solar energy biomass, hydroelectricity, and wind power are responsible for 14 percent. Nuclear energy is responsible for another five percent. Different countries employ various energy sources, while balancing economic needs with environmental concerns.
Nature’s energy is available in a variety of forms like sun, wind waves and ocean. When harnessed and converted into more efficient forms of energy, such as heat or electricity, they are known as primary sources. These sources are non-renewable resources of energy when they are exhausted.
The environment is harmed by a variety of fossil fuels and also other energy sources that aren’t renewable. For instance mining for oil can destroy the forests of the planet. Fracking (hydraulic fracture) could cause water pollution and earthquakes. Burning coal releases carbon dioxide, contributing to global warming.
Fortunately that many of the most promising sources of energy are sustainable and renewable. Hydropower, solar energy and wind power, for instance, can generate electricity without the need to search for new resources.
Other sustainable energy sources are gaining momentum, such as the wave and tidal power. However, in order to be utilized in a large-scale manner they must have effective distribution networks. This requires the use non-renewable energy sources to build these networks. Therefore, these sources aren’t sufficient to meet the majority of our energy requirements. It’s still important to remember that the cost of renewable energy equipment have fallen dramatically in recent years and the efficiency of these equipments is growing.
