The world uses many different energy sources. Fossil fuels — including natural gas, petroleum and coal accounted for more than 80 percent of the energy consumed in the year 2018. Renewables such as solar power, wind power biomass, hydroelectricity, and biomass account for 14 percent. Nuclear energy accounts for another five percent. Different countries utilize different energy sources to balance environmental and economic requirements.

Nature’s energy is available in a variety of forms including sun, wind waves and ocean. These sources of energy transform into more efficient energy forms, such as electricity or heat when they are harnessed. These sources of energy become non-renewable sources of energy when they are exhausted.

Many fossil fuels and some of the other sources of energy that aren’t renewable are causing harm to the environment. Oil mining, for example can cause the destruction of our forests that are virgin to the earth. Fracking (hydraulic fracture) could cause water pollution and earthquakes. Carbon dioxide is released when coal is burned which causes global warming.

Fortunately, some of the most promising energy sources are sustainable and renewable. Hydropower, solar energy and wind power for instance, can produce electricity without the need to search for new sources.

Other sources of sustainable energy are gaining momentum, such as waves and tidal power. However, to be utilized on a massive scale, these technologies must have effective distribution networks. This requires the use of non-renewable energy sources to construct these networks. These sources are not able to meet the majority of our energy requirements. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that prices for renewable energy equipment have dropped drastically over the last few years, and the efficiency is growing rapidly.
