Scientists are trying to find more sources of energy that will reduce pollution and save some of the fossil fuels. People are using several types of renewable resources.Some of these forms of energy exist in an unlimited supply. Solar power uses energy directly from sunlight. Hydropower uses...
- SOURCES OF ENERGY. // World Almanac for Kids;2003, p62
There are many sources of energy. Fuels are called "fossil" because they were formed from ancient plants and animals. The three basic fossil fuels are coal, oil, and natural gas. Most of the energy we use today comes from these sources. All fossil fuels have one problem: they are gradually...
- WILL WE HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY? // World Almanac for Kids;2001, p66
In 1998, most of the energy used in the United States came from fossil fuels (about 38.8% from petroleum, 23.2% from natural gas, and 22.9% from coal). The rest came mostly from hydropower (water power) and nuclear energy. Fossil fuels are non renewable sources of energy. That means the amount...
