Sources Of Energy
Sources of energy can be categorized into non-renewable and renewable.We cannot imagine the world without energy. The source of energy is important as well. There are various sources of energy available today to the mankind. On a broad sense, sources of energy can be categorized into non-renewable and renewable. Wood, coal, oil, natural gas are some of the non-renewable sources as they cannot be renewable. These are also called the conventional sources of energy. Nuclear fuels like uranium produce energy by fission process. Nuclear energy from sun is obtained by nuclear fusion process.
Conventional fuels and sources of energy cause a lot of pollution to mankind and hence there is a need for looking towards alternate sources of energy, which are most likely to be renewable. Solar energy, energy from wind, hydro energy, geothermal energy and energy from biomass are some of the alternate sources of energy. Wind energy can be harnessed by using wind mills that can be erected at suitable locations. Hydroelectric plants make use of hydro energy. In most of the rural areas biomass is utilized.
