Show transcript
The sun, directly or indirectly, is the source of nearly all energy on Earth: plants use energy to grow the food we eat. Non-renewable energy sources are fossil fuels: coal, oil, natural gas, and the elements uranium and plutonium. Renewable energy sources include solar power, wind, wave and tidal energy, hydro-electric, biomass and geothermal. Non-renewable sources are unsustainable, polluting and a cause of rapid climate change.
