ENERGY RESOURCES

Types of Energy Resources:


Solar Energy

Wind Energy

Hydro Energy
Biomass Energy
Geothermal Energy
Coal Energy
Renewable Energy & Non-Renewable Energy

Petroleum Energy

Renewable Energy

Natural Gas Energy

The energy can be generated


continuously practically without decay of
source. The source of energy can be
renewed over time. It will not cause
pollution to the environment.

Nuclear Energy

THE IMPORTANT
OF CONSERVE
ENERGY

Non-Renewable Energy
The energy cant be generated
continuously practically without decay of
source. The resources are present in fixed
quantities and can only be used once. It
will cause pollution to the environment.

Environment Protection
The reason for conserving energy is the
health and well-being of every life form on
the entire planet. Using fossil fuels and
some other energy forms typically pollute
the environment in a number of ways.

Energy Conservation Is The


Foundation of Energy
Independence.

Why Conservation
Energy is Important?
Conserving energy is important because
using non-renewable energy sources has a
detrimental impact on the
environment. The total effect of these
environmental changes has led to global
warming at a level that threatens the long
term stability of life.
Conserving energy not only helps to
conserve resources but also translates
into financial savings. When we drive our
cars, wash our hands and turn lights on,
we usually dont stop to assess the amount
of resources we are using. We also dont
stop to think that we are depleting
resources that are not boundless.

Tom Allen
Taking Energy For Granted
Fossil Fuel Consumption
Many types of energy use fossil fuels in
some way. Fossil fuels are a nonrenewable
resource, meaning that at some point the
very last chunk of coal will be dug from
the earth and the last drop of oil will be
pumped from the Earth. When this
happens, fossil fuel won't be available
anymore since mankind can't create these
resources.

It is impossible to reduce energy


consumption to zero because of the
lifestyle needs that people have in modern
society. However, converting from nonrenewable energy sources to renewable
ones reduces the negative impact of
energy consumption on the environment.
Electricity that comes from solar panels or
wind turbines does not release toxic
emissions into the atmosphere. Changing
from gas-powered to electric-powered
vehicles or gas-electric hybrids also
reduces harmful emissions and
contributes to higher air quality. These
conservation measures can help to slow
the trend of global warming.
