Energy Resources: An

Overview
Energy is essential for powering our modern world. From the fuels
that heat our homes to the electricity that powers our devices, energy
resources come in many forms and play a crucial role in our daily
lives.

Fossil Fuels: Oil, Natural Gas,
and Coal
Fossil fuels, including oil, natural gas, and coal, have been the
backbone of our energy systems for centuries. These non-renewable
resources are formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals
and provide a concentrated source of energy.
Renewable Energy Sources
Solar Wind Hydroelectric, Geothermal

Harnessing the power of the Wind turbines convert the Hydroelectric power taps
sun through photovoltaic kinetic energy of wind into into the energy of flowing
