  1. Sources of Energy An Overview

  2. Sources of Energy • The Sun • Ultimate source of much of our energy • Most non-renewable energy sources are means of storing solar energy • Solar, wind, and biomass

  3. Sources of Energy • The Moon • Tidal/Wave Power • Works with sun and the rotation of earth • Gravity • Hydro power

  4. Sources of Energy • Nuclear • Fission • Fusion • The Sun • Geothermal

  5. Non-Renewable Energy • Energy derived from sources which are not replaced or are replaced at a rate slower then it is consumed.

  6. Renewable Energy • Energy derived from sources which are replaced as fast as they are consumed or are so plentiful that they are for all practical purposes infinite.
